Abstract: A first hold-down includes a hold-down elastic piece supported like a cantilever beam by a reinforcing plate part. The hold-down elastic piece includes an elastic piece body extending from the reinforcing plate part, and a curve contact part formed at an end of the elastic piece body and projecting toward a CPU board beyond a CPU board opposed surface. A housing is formed in such a way that the curve contact part does not come into contact with the housing when the curve contact part no longer projects toward the CPU board beyond the CPU board opposed surface as a result of the curve contact part being elastically displaced toward an input-output board.

Abstract: A cantilever spring is positioned in a slit in a shell, and has a free end and a fixed end fixed to the shell. The cantilever spring extends in a height direction of the shell. The fixed end of the cantilever spring is positioned near a part that is attachable to a board, and the free end of the cantilever spring is apart from that part.

Abstract: In a connector, movement of a contact is appropriately restricted in detaching a counter connector from the connector. The connector fittable with the counter connector in a first direction includes the contact and a housing. The contact includes: a press-fitted portion press-fitted into the housing in a second direction intersecting the first direction; an extension portion that extends from the press-fitted portion in a third direction intersecting the first and the second directions; and a contact portion that extends from the extension portion and contacts the counter contact. The housing includes a protrusion portion that protrudes from a rising portion in the third direction. In a state where the press-fitted portion is press-fitted in the housing, a surface of a distal end portion in the third direction of the extension portion contacts the protrusion portion, which surface faces a side where the counter connector is situated.

The housing includes a press-fitting space and a solder connection checking hole. The contact includes a press-fit part to be press-fit into the press-fitting space, and a soldering part that extends from the press-fit part and is connected by soldering to a pad of an input-output board. The solder connection checking hole is formed to penetrate the housing in the vertical direction and allow a solder fillet, which is formed when the soldering part is soldered to the pad of the input-output board, to be checked through the solder connection checking hole. The housing includes a separating wall that separates the press-fitting space from the solder connection checking hole.
