An object of the present invention is to provide a board connector capable of being further thinned. With two connectors 10, 20 properly connected, engaging projections 28 projecting from wall surfaces of lower receiving grooves 27S are inserted below engageable portions 18 provided on lower reinforcing ribs 17S and these engaging projections 28 can be held in contact with the engageable portions 18 from below. Thus, if an upward force acts on the female connector 20, the engaging projections 28 come into contact with the engageable portions 18 and this force is borne by the lower reinforcing ribs 17S. In other words, since the upward force acting on the female connector 20 is borne not only by an upper wall 13U of a receptacle 13, but also by a lower wall 13S, the upper wall 13U can be made thinner as compared to the case where this force acts only on the upper wall 13U. As a result, a board connector C1 can be further thinned. |
