Abstract:
1. An electric connector assembly, comprising: a first attaching connector to be attached to a first circuit board; a second attaching connector to be attached to a second circuit board; and an intermediate connector disposed between the first attaching connector and the second attaching connector for connecting the first attaching connector to the second attaching connector, wherein said intermediate connector includes a power source terminal and a terminal penetrating portion, said power source terminal includes a cylindrical main body portion and a flange portion, said cylindrical main body portion is accommodated in the terminal penetrating portion with a space in between so that the cylindrical main body portion can move in the terminal penetrating portion, said flange portion is arranged to contact with an edge of the terminal penetrating portion and has a diameter greater than an inner diameter of the terminal penetrating portion, said first attaching connector includes a first receiving terminal for contacting with the power source terminal, said second attaching connector includes a second receiving terminal for contacting with the power source terminal, one of said first receiving terminal and said power source terminal and one of said second receiving terminal and said power source terminal include an elastic cylindrical member so that the power source terminal is capable of inclining and moving in a radial direction at an arbitrary angle position along a circumferential direction around an axial line of the power source terminal, and said elastic cylindrical member includes a circumferential surface contacting between the power source terminal and the first receiving terminal or the second receiving terminal in an elastically deformed state.
