The receiving groove 411 is for receiving the second contact 5. When the first contact 4 and the second contact 5 are connected to each other, the second contact 5 is received in the receiving groove 411. Accordingly, the board connector 1 according to the present invention is configured such that the first contact 4 and the second contact 5 are connected to each other in a state that the first contact 4 and the second contact 5 partially overlap each other, It is possible to reduce the width W (shown in Fig. 3) in a state where the two contacts 5 are connected to each other. The width W is a length corresponding to a second axial direction (Y-axis direction) perpendicular to the first axial direction (X-axis direction). In this case, since the board connector 1 according to the present invention is implemented in a compact structure in the width direction, it is possible to improve applicability to miniaturized electronic devices requiring ultra-narrow width.

The receiving groove 411 is formed to be positioned between the first supporting member 412 and the second supporting member 413. The receiving groove 411 may be recessed from the first connecting member 41 by a predetermined depth. The receiving groove 411 may be formed in a rectangular plate shape as a whole, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[ (5a) can be guided.

The first guide surface 4141 may be formed to be planar so as to be spaced the same distance from the second guide member 415 along the first direction (FD arrow direction) as shown in FIG. The first direction (FD arrow direction) is the direction from the receiving groove 411 toward the guide groove 416. In this case, the second contact 5 moves in the second direction (SD arrow direction) along the first guide surface 4141 with one side 5a of the second contact 5 being in contact with the first guide surface 4141 And can be received in the receiving groove 411. The second direction (SD arrow direction) is a direction opposite to the first direction (FD arrow direction).

11, the first guide surface 4141 may be inclined to increase the distance from the second guide member 415 toward the first direction (FD arrow direction). In this case, the first guide surface 4141 has the following advantages in comparison with the case where the first guide surface 4141 is formed in a plane along the first direction (arrow direction of FD).

For example, when the second contact 5 is misaligned to the left with reference to FIG. 11, the second contact 5 contacts the first guide surface 4141 and then contacts the first guide surface 4141, And moves to the right along the incline. The second contact 5 can be arranged in a position where it can be received in the receiving groove 411 between the first supporting member 412 and the second supporting member 413. [ Therefore, the board connector 1 according to the present invention can improve the accuracy of the operation of connecting the first contact 4 and the second contact 5.
