The movable part is capable of moving a holding part that holds a connection object back and forth in each of a second direction that is orthogonal to a first direction where the holding part is moved therein in order to connect the connection object to a target connector, and a rotational direction where the holding part is rotated therein around an axis along a third direction that is orthogonal to each of the first direction and the second direction as a center. The pressing part presses the movable part that moves in the second direction to move the movable part to a neutral position in the second direction and presses the movable part that moves in the rotational direction to move the movable part to a neutral position in the rotational direction.
