Abstract
A second terminal (14) of a second connector is provided with a first spring member (23) including a pair of first spring pieces (26) facing each other, and a second spring member (24) including a pair of second spring pieces (41) for sandwiching the pair of first spring pieces (26). The pair of second spring pieces (41) apply pressing forces to the pair of first spring pieces (26) in mutually approaching directions. A first terminal (13) of a first connector is sandwiched by the pair of first spring pieces (26), whereby the first terminal (13) and the first spring member (23) are electrically connected. The second spring member (24) includes a stopper portion (45) for restricting displacements of the pair of first spring pieces (26) in the mutually approaching directions by contacting the pair of first spring pieces (26).
