Each contact has a contacting portion (22), an engaging portion (21) extending from the contacting portion, a soldering portion (25) and a connecting portion (23) connecting the soldering portion with engaging portion. The connecting portions are hung in the air so that the soldering portions extending from free ends of corresponding connecting portions are elastic to align properly in a common surface.
