PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce force required for the connection and disconnection of an electronic equipment device body and an electrical additional body and thereby connect and disconnect the electrical additional body smoothly by sequentially shifting the contact starting position of each terminal of a female connector and a male connector in a group. SOLUTION: Data terminals 1c-1n are so arranged that the distance from the tip 10a of a male connector 10 to tip end positions of each of them gradually increases as they approach the center by differentiating their length. When an electrical additional body is being pushed in, the terminal of the male connector 10 to come into contact with a terminal of a female connector next is the data terminal 1c that has the longest length in the data terminals 1c-1n. When the additional body is further being pushed in continuously, each of the data terminals 1c-1n starts to come into contact with a terminal of the female connector sequentially, the sequence of the data terminals being first 1d, then 1e, 1f...1n, that is, in the order of increasing distance from the tip position of each of the data terminals 1c-1n to the tip 10a of the male connector 10. Thereby, the contact load of the data terminals of the male connector 10 and the female connector can be dispersed. |
