Abstract

A connector insertion hole (26) is formed through a circuit board (12), and a connector (1) is inserted into the connector insertion hole (26) from one side of the circuit board (12) to be projected from the other side of the circuit board (12). A plurality of board-connecting terminals (5) are connected respectively to solder portions at the one side of the circuit board (12). Each of the board-connecting terminals (5) has a solder-connecting surface (11a) facing in the connecting-inserting direction. Fixing metal members (10) are provided on the connector (1), and each of the fixing metal members (10) has a solder-fixing surface facing in the connector-inserting direction. The fixing metal members (10) are fixedly secured to the one side of the circuit board (12) by soldering simultaneously when the board-connecting terminals (5) are connected to the circuit board (12).
