Abstract

Abstract The first connector includes a first connector housing and a second connector housing movable to and from said first connector housing, and the second connector includes a third connector housing to be coupled with the second housing. The first connector housing incorporates a connection terminal, said second connector housing incorporates a movable contact piece arranged within a terminal chamber and slidably coupled with said connection terminal, and the third terminal incorporates an electrical contact piece to be electrically connected to said movable contact piece. The first connector is mounted on a first mounting module, and the second connector is mounted on the second mounting module. The first mounting module and the second mounting module are coupled with each other. When the second connector housing is moved toward the third connector housing of the second connector, electrical connection between both connectors and fixing of the coupled mounting modules can be simultaneously carried out.
