Abstract
A module connector reliably locks a module such as a camera module, which is accommodated, to prevent the module from falling and make a module connector in lower profile. This module connector has contact pins () that electrically connect with the module inside a container () in which the camera module is inserted. Retaining members () are provided in sides of the container (), elastically deform when the module is inserted such that claw parts (), which form the tip parts of arm parts () projecting toward the container (), move to the sides of the container (), and engage with an engaged part () of the camera module accommodated in the container (). An arm part () connects with an upper end part of a second body part () bent from the tip of a first body part (), which projects toward the container () in the side of the container (), in the direction going away from the container () and extends upward.
