10 . The connector of claim 9 , wherein the fixing member is disposed on the side surface of the accommodation groove.

11 . The connector of claim 9 , wherein the fixing member is formed with rubber.

12 . The connector of claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a molding forming the accommodation groove.

13 . The connector of claim 12 , wherein the first contact comprises:

a first portion buried in the molding of the housing; and

a second portion protruding from the side surface of the accommodation groove.

14 . The connector of claim 1 , wherein the guide is formed with a conductive material.

15 . The connector of claim 1 , wherein, as the header connector is drawn in the accommodation groove, the guide is electrically connected with a first terminal of the header connector to transmit and/or receive a first signal.

16 . A connector comprising:

a housing, wherein a groove for an electrical connection with a header connector is formed in the housing and the groove includes a side surface and a bottom surface; and

a conductive structure including:

a first bending portion disposed at the side surface of the groove for contacting the header connector, and

a second bending portion connected with the first bending portion,

wherein, in case that the header connector is entered into the groove and in contact with the first bending portion, the first bending portion is bent such that an end of the conductive structure is in contact with a first point of the conductive structure and such that a portion of an electrical path is formed from the end of the conductive structure to the first point.

17 . A connector comprising:

a housing comprising an inner side surface defining a groove which is open to outside the connector and in which a header connector is electrically connected to the connector;

a contact which protrudes along a first direction from the inner side surface and into the groove and at which the header connector is electrically connected to the header connector, the contact comprising a first bent portion and a second bent portion arranged adjacent to each other along the first direction; and

at a same side of the housing, the inner side surface of the housing defining a recess which is open to the groove, in the first direction, together with a first guide and a second guide of the housing respectively on opposing sides of the recess along the same side of the housing,

wherein

the contact protrudes along the first direction from the inner side surface which is at the recess, and

insertion of the header connector into the groove includes:

the first guide and the second guide guiding a position of the header connector along the inner side surface of the housing and into the groove, and

the header connector contacting the contact at a first point of the first bent portion and bending the first bent portion, together with the first bent portion providing a pressure in the first direction to the header connector, and

wherein the bending of the first bent portion includes contacting a second point of the first bent portion with a third point of the second bent portion.

18 . The connector of claim 16 ,

wherein at least a portion of the second bending portion is disposed inside the housing,
