The guide 751 has elasticity and may have restoring force.

The connecting protrusion 570 fitted in the housing hole 753 may suppress the rearward movement of the second input/output port 119 . The rear movement of the second input/output port 119 may be based on the housing body 710 .

A length connected to the first stopper 540 , the beams 561 and 563 , and the second stopper 550 may be greater than a width of the housing body 710 . The first stopper 540 and the second stopper 550 may suppress forward movement of the second input/output port 119 . The forward movement of the second input/output port 119 may be based on the housing body 710 .

The housing hole 753 may communicate with the second contact part groove 533 . The housing hole 753 and the second contact part groove 533 (see FIG. 20 ) may provide a space in which the input/output port 119 is coupled to the rear case 102 (see FIG. 1 ).

Any or other embodiments of the invention described above are not mutually exclusive or distinct. Certain or other embodiments of the present invention described above may be combined or combined in their respective configurations or functions.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit and essential characteristics of the present invention.
