Abstract:
1. A connector device for interconnecting circuit substrates that is used for electrically connecting a plurality of first connecting electrodes disposed on a first circuit substrate and a plurality of second connecting electrodes disposed on a second circuit substrate, the plurality of first connecting electrodes being juxtaposed on a surface of the first circuit substrate at a first pitch for electrodes, the plurality of second connecting electrodes being juxtaposed on a surface of the second circuit substrate at a second pitch for electrodes of 0.2 mm or less which is different from the first pitch for electrodes, the connector device for interconnecting circuit substrates comprising: a rectangular parallelepiped connecting element including: a connector housing mounted to the first circuit substrate with the rectangular parallelepiped connecting element being received therein, wherein the connector housing is configured to: allow the plurality of electrically conducting path portions disposed on the one of the two opposed faces of the three continuous faces of the rectangular parallelepiped connecting element to be electrically connected to the plurality of first connecting electrodes disposed on the first circuit substrate; receive a substrate portion of the second circuit substrate where the plurality of second connecting electrodes are disposed and hold the substrate portion in a position where the plurality of electrically conducting path portions disposed on the other face of the two opposed faces among the three continuous faces of the rectangular parallelepiped connecting element are opposed to the plurality of second connecting electrodes; and bring the plurality of second connecting electrodes into contact with the plurality of electrically conducting path portions disposed on the other face.
