Abstract
Abstract A connector (1, 101, 102, 103) of the present invention is provided with a ventilation means (21, 22, 23, 24, 43, 62, 63, 241, 242) that permits air to pass through along an electronic module (2) with respect to a housing means (10, 110, 111) holding said electronic module (2). The housing means (10, 110, 111) includes a main body (11) mounting thereon contacts (26, 27) to be connected with conductive pads (94, 95) provided at a front end of the electronic module (2) and a pair of arms (12, 13), projected from opposite ends of the main body (11), to hold the electronic module (2) at opposite ends thereof. The ventilation means is provided at the main body (11) and/or the pair of arms (12, 13). The ventilation means thus formed can permit the electronic module to be cooled efficiently.
