Abstract
To provide a connector for a circuit board in which terminals, before bent, have the same overall length, thereby reducing the cost of the terminals, and also preventing the erroneous mounting of the terminals on a connector housing. Distal end portions of a plurality of terminals are passed through and fixed to a connector housing, and proximal end portions of the plurality of terminals are bent, and are connected to the circuit board. The plurality of terminals, before bent, have the same overall length, and a bent portion of one of the adjacent terminals is disposed closer to the connector housing than a bent portion of the other terminal, and internal bend angle .theta. of the one terminal is larger than an internal bend angle .alpha. of the other terminal, and the proximal end portions or the distal end portions of the adjacent terminals are disposed out of phase with each other.
