Abstract

See full text

A first groove portion into which a first plug connector can fit and a second groove portion that surrounds the first groove portion and into which a second plug connector can fit are formed in a receptacle connector. By arranging first receiving-side contacts that contact against and conduct with contacts of the first plug connector in the first groove portion and arranging second receiving-side contacts that contact against and conduct with contacts of the second plug connector in the second groove portion, plug connectors with mutually different shapes and in which the number of contacts are mutually different can be easily and reliably connected to a common receptacle connector. It is therefore possible to reduce the mounting space of the receptacle connector to prevent an increase in the apparatus size, and also improve the usability.
