Patent ID: 6893269

Claim:
A connector comprising: a block-like insulator having a first surface and a second surface opposite to said first surface, said first surface confronting a first connection object, said second surface confronting a second connection object; and a plurality of conductive contacts each electrically connecting said first connection object to said second connection object, each of said conductive contacts comprising: a retention portion held by said insulator; a contact portion extending from one end of said retention portion and projecting over said first surface so as to contact said first connection object; and a connecting portion extending from the other end of said retention portion and projecting over said second surface so as to be connected to said second connection object, said insulator having a standoff region which is formed at a boundary between said second surface and a surface adjacent to said second surface and enables a mounting component be placed in said standoff region and mounted on said second connection object, said contacts being disposed in predetermined positions of said insulator excluding said standoff region; wherein said standoff region comprises two regions, said insulator having a mounting portion between said two regions, said mounting portion approaching to confront said second connection object.
