1. A connector structure, comprising:
a connector having a terminal portion; and
a flexible printed circuit having an electrode portion to be coupled to the terminal portion, wherein
the connector includes
a connector body having the terminal portion, and
a positioning projection configured to position the flexible printed circuit relative to the connector body so as to bring the electrode portion into contact with the terminal portion at a right position being set in advance,
an insertion hole through which the positioning projection is inserted is provided in the flexible printed circuit at a position spaced from the electrode portion, and
as the positioning projection is inserted gradually into the insertion hole, the positioning projection is configured to move the flexible printed circuit so that the flexible printed circuit is aligned with the right position,
wherein the positioning projection has
a base portion connected to the connector body, and
an insert portion connected to the base portion, and
the insert portion is shaped such that an external form of the insert portion becomes smaller as a distance from the connector body becomes longer,
wherein
the insertion hole is smaller than an external shape of a border portion between the base portion and the insert portion, and
the flexible printed circuit is elastically deformable such that the positioning projection widens the insertion hole when the positioning projection enters the insertion hole.
