Abstract: A housing has a first positioning hole that penetrates the housing in the vertical direction. A suction cap includes a suction plate part to be sucked by a suction nozzle, and a plurality of positioning protrusion parts, each of which is to be inserted into a first positioning hole of the housing of an input/output board-side connector and a CPU board-side connector in the state where the suction cap holds the input/output board-side connector and the CPU board-side connector. Each positioning protrusion part is inserted into each corresponding first positioning hole in the state where the suction cap holds the input/output board-side connector and the CPU board-side connector, which achieves the positioning of the input/output board-side connector and the CPU board-side connector with respect to the suction cap.

Abstract: Each of a first connector and a second connector of a connector assembly includes at least two high frequency signal terminals. When viewed from a first direction, each periphery of the high frequency signal terminals is surrounded by an outer shell and an inner shell. The outer shell has a substantially quadrilateral shape. The high frequency signal terminals, the outer shells surrounding peripheries of the high frequency signal terminals, and the inner shells, which are disposed on a second symmetry axis form a linearly symmetrical shape with the second symmetry axis as a center line of the outer shells along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction in which the high frequency signal terminals are arranged.

Abstract: A high voltage side hold-down includes a flat-plate shaped reinforcing plate part, a solder leg projecting downward from the reinforcing plate part, and a hold-down elastic piece supported like a cantilever beam by the reinforcing plate part. The hold-down elastic piece includes an elastic piece body, a contact part projecting upward beyond a CPU board opposed surface, and a displacement restriction part for restricting upward displacement of the contact part, sequentially from the base to the end of the hold-down elastic piece. A housing is formed in such a way that the contact part does not come into contact with the housing when the contact part is displaced downward and no longer projects upward beyond the CPU board opposed surface.

Abstract: A connector is mounted on an input-output board. The connector is interposed between the input-output board and a CPU board, and thereby a plurality of pads of the input-output board and a plurality of pads of the CPU board are respectively electrically connected.

Abstract: A connector comprises an insert-molded body. The insert-molded body comprises a housing and a terminal partially embedded in the housing. The housing has a main portion. The main portion is formed with a trace hole and an accommodation space. The terminal has a held portion, a bent-back portion extending forward from the held portion, a support portion extending rearward from the bent-back portion and a contact portion supported by the support portion. The held portion has a wide portion. When the insert-molded body is seen from above, the wide portion is, at least in part, visible through the trace hole. Each of the support portion and the contact portion has a size smaller than that of the wide portion in the lateral direction. The wide portion is partially visible through the accommodation space when the insert-molded body is seen from below.
