Abstract
It is aimed to smoothly connect connectors by absorbing assembling variations between the connectors. A first spring piece () and a pair of second spring pieces () are deflectably provided in a holder portion (H) to resiliently sandwich a first connector () in a Y-axis direction. The second spring pieces () are formed with upper receiving surfaces () symmetrically inclined along an X-axis direction so that resilient forces act on both receiving portions () of the first connector () toward a center axis along the X-axis direction. Further, the first connector () is held in a state displaceable also in a Z-axis direction in the holder portion (H). This causes the first connector () to be held at a reference position and held in a three-dimensionally displaceable state.
