In order to achieve the above purpose and other purposes, this creation provides a non-directional wire-to-board connector system connecting wire. The non-directional wire-to-board connector includes a male end and a female socket. The male end includes a first body and a plurality of elastic parts. The first body forms an accommodating space where one end of the wire can be provided, and the elastic portions are respectively provided on two sides of the first body. The other two sides of the first body respectively form a first opening and a second opening to allow the other end of the wire to pass through. Wherein, each of the elastic parts extends from the two ends of the first body and is combined to form a closed space, and the outer sides of each of the elastic parts form a fastener. The female seat includes a second body and a plurality of combined parts. The second body forms a combining space to be able to combine the first body. The second body respectively forms a first gap and a second gap. The coupling members are respectively formed on two sides of the coupling space, and the coupling members are disposed corresponding to the fastening members. Wherein, the first body moves non-directionally toward the combined space, so that the first opening corresponds to the first gap and the second opening corresponds to the second gap or the first opening corresponds to the second gap and the second opening corresponds to the first gap, so that The other end of the wire passes through, and the fastening parts and the joint parts are locked by deforming the elastic parts, and the fastening parts are unlocked to lock the joint parts by deforming the elastic parts.
