Abstract
[Problem] To provide a hybrid connector and a cable with the connector which correct a positional error of connector units and enable to connect connectors when they are connected and even if there is a small positional error of the connection unit. [Solving Means] A hybrid connector holds plural connector unitstoin a common connector housing. Each of the plural connector units is held individually movably in a direction (XY) orthogonal to an axial direction (Z) of connection. The connector unit is preferably movably held through a holding memberformed by an elastic matter. Front edges at the fitting start of the plural connector unitstoare tapered, and the connector units move along tapered portions in the connection fitting time. The plural connector units may be different in front-edge fitting start position along a connecting direction.
