Abstract
Abstract A connector has a connector terminal that has a connecting section for a partner terminal on one end of a conducting plate, a board insertion section on the other end, and a curved section for absorbing the deviations in the vertical. The connector also has horizontal directions in the middle of the conducting plate, and a housing which houses the connector terminal which has a board mounting plate on the side of the base end, and the board mounting plate mounted so as to be horizontally movably on the board via a fixing stand of the board insertion section.
