The plurality of contacts include first contacts and second contacts that are alternately arranged in the width direction orthogonal to the insertion direction, and the tip of the first lead portion of the first contact and the second contact of the second contact. The leading end portion of the lead portion is soldered alternately on both sides of the through-hole in the mounting surface in the insertion direction. Therefore, high attachment strength to the circuit board can be achieved.

請求項5に記載の発明では、抜脱規制突起の挿入方向側にもコンタクトが配置される。このため、スペースの有効利用を図り且つ取付強度を向上することができる。   According to the fifth aspect of the invention, the contacts are also arranged on the insertion direction side of the withdrawal restricting protrusion. Therefore, the space can be effectively used and the mounting strength can be improved.
