1. A connector device, comprising:
a plurality of first terminal units to be mounted on a first circuit board;
a plurality of second terminal units to be mounted on a second circuit board; and
a plurality of movable terminal units,
wherein:
the first terminal unit includes a first outer conductor surrounding a first inner conductor,
the second terminal unit includes a second outer conductor surrounding a second inner conductor,
the movable terminal unit includes a movable outer conductor surrounding a movable inner conductor,
the movable terminal unit is rockable with the second terminal unit as a fulcrum,
a tip part of the movable terminal unit is connectable to the first terminal unit,
the plurality of movable outer conductors are electrically conductively connected via a connecting member,
the connecting member includes a resilient contact piece configured to resiliently contact the movable outer conductor, and
the resilient contact piece follows a movement of the movable terminal unit while being resiliently deformed when the movable terminal unit is displaced with respect to the connecting member.
