[0037] The following refers to Figures 1 - 4 Describe the connector 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model, as Figures 1 - 4As shown, the connector 100 includes an intermediate layer 110. Specifically, the intermediate layer 110 includes corresponding first and second surfaces 111 and 112. Further, a plurality of through holes 113 are formed in the intermediate layer 110, and the through holes 113 penetrate through the first and second surfaces 111 and 112. Conductivity can be achieved within the through holes 113. Further, a plurality of correspondingly arranged first connectors 120 and second connectors 130 are respectively connected to the first and second surfaces 111 and 112 of the intermediate layer 110. That is to say, in the vertical direction, the first connectors 120 and the second connectors 130 are correspondingly arranged, and the connection line between the two is perpendicular to the first surface 111 or the second surface 112. Further, a first adhesive layer 140 is provided between the first connector 120 and the first surface 111, and a second adhesive layer 150 is provided between the second connector 130 and the second surface 112.
