Claim:
1. A connector, comprising: a housing that forms a housing portion for a flat conductor, the flat conductor including a first connection on a front side in an insertion direction of a flat conductor body, the flat conductor body provided with a conductive line between flat insulation substrates, and a second connection including a conductive member stacked on one surface of one of the insulation substrates of the flat conductor body such that the second connection is formed with a plate thickness that is greater than that of the first connection; and a connector that includes a first terminal that is retained by the housing and that is connected to the flat conductor, and a second terminal that is retained by the housing and that is connected to the flat conductor, wherein the housing portion includes a first space in which the first terminal is disposed and that is connected to the first connection, and a second space in which the second terminal is disposed and that is connected to the second connection, the second space capable of housing the second connection is formed larger than the first space by a thickness that is equivalent to or greater than the thickness of the conductive member, the housing includes a wall that forms the housing portion and a metal reinforcement member that is fitted along the wall, and the reinforcement member includes a fixed portion which is configured to be soldered to a circuit board, and an outermost surface of the fixed portion is arranged to be co-planar to or depressed from an outer surface of the housing.
