Claim 3:
4. A connector configured to be mounted on a mounting surface of a circuit board including a plurality of first press-fitting holes and a second press-fitting hole, comprising:
a plurality of press-fit terminals configured to be press-fitted into the plurality of first press-fitting holes; and
a housing holding the plurality of press-fit terminals,
wherein the housing includes a bottom surface and an extending portion extending along a first direction in which the plurality of press-fit terminals are press-fitted into the plurality of first press-fitting holes, and the extending portion is provided with a press-fitted portion configured to be press-fitted into the second press-fitting hole and a first portion that extends away from the bottom surface in the first direction,
wherein the connector is configured such that in a temporarily mounted state in which the press-fitted portion is in contact with an edge of the second press-fitting hole, each of tips of the plurality of press-fit terminals in the first direction is located inside the plurality of first press-fitting holes without contacting the mounting surface
wherein each of the plurality of press-fit terminals includes a compliant portion that bulges in a direction orthogonal to the first direction,
wherein, in a mounted state in which the connector is mounted on the mounting surface of the circuit board, the compliant portion is configured to abut the first press-fitting hole, and
wherein the press-fitted portion protrudes from the first portion in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction, and
wherein, in the mounted state in which the connector is mounted on the mounting surface of the circuit board and the compliant portion abuts the first press-fitting hole, the press-fitted portion is inside of the second press-fitting hole.
