Connector

Abstract

A connector eliminates any restriction in the arrangement of connecting pins, and makes a unit to be connected compact. A male type connector assembly includes a connector body formed with a cavity portion for receiving a female type connector assembly therein. A unit mounting an electronic device thereon is hierarchically connected to the connector body. The connector body and unit of the female type connector assembly are connected together through a contact. When the male type connector assembly and the female type connector assembly are connected together, the contact is connected to a receptacle contact mounted on the female type connector assembly.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
