Abstract
A plurality of terminals (15, 16) have contact sections (15A, 16A) projecting from the terminal support (19) of a connector housing (14) to abut against the terminal (34) of a mobile device (30). A pair of mount guiding columns (17) are provided on the connector housing (14) on opposite sides of the terminal support (19) so as to enter the mount recesses 38 of the mobile device (30). The mount guiding column (17) has such a shape and size as to allow the mobile device to rotate to an inclined position with the terminals (15, 16, 34) being in contact. A rotation guiding face (21A) is provided on the connector housing (14) for guiding the mobile device (30) to the inclined position.
