しかしながら、前記複数の接触端子は回路基板に直接接続するので、半田付けする時に各接触端子が回路基板にそれぞれ半田付けされ、接触端子の位置決めが難しくなる恐れがあった。また、半田付けされた接触端子は相手コネクタの相手接触端子に接続する時に変位を生じ易い問題がある。従って、新たなコネクタ装置を開発することが必要である。 However, since the plurality of contact terminals are directly connected to the circuit board, each contact terminal is soldered to the circuit board during soldering, which may make positioning of the contact terminals difficult. Moreover, there is a problem that the soldered contact terminal is likely to be displaced when connected to the mating contact terminal of the mating connector. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new connector device.

The connecting portion 22 extends upward from one end of the contact portion 21 and then extends backward, and the tail portion 23 is bent downward from the rear end of the connecting portion 22 and then rearward. It is formed to extend. When mated with the mating connector, the contact portion 21 is displaced in the vertical direction within the receiving groove 14.
