Connector having cover, base and metal member with a locking portion, a coupling portion with a standing portion, and a reinforcing portion overlapping an area of twice a predetermined distance from the standing portion

A connector mountable on a circuit board, wherein:

• the connector comprises a cover, a base, a hinge mechanism, a terminal and a metal member;
• the cover is attached to the base by the hinge mechanism;
• the base has a front end and a rear end in a front-rear direction;
• the hinge mechanism is closer to the front end of the base than to the rear end of the base in the front-rear direction;
• the cover is provided with a locked portion;
• the metal member is held by the base;
• the metal member has a locking portion, a coupling portion and a reinforcing portion;
• the locking portion has a first regulating portion and a second regulating portion;
• the first regulating portion has a front end in the front-rear direction;
• the second regulating portion extends downward in an up-down direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction from the front end of the first regulating portion;
• the coupling portion integrally couples the first regulating portion and the reinforcing portion with each other;
• the coupling portion and the second regulating portion are positioned away from each other by a predetermined distance in the front-rear direction;
• the coupling portion has a standing portion;
• the standing portion extends at least downward in the up-down direction from the first regulating portion;
• the reinforcing portion is soldered on the circuit board when the connector is mounted on the circuit board;
• in a plane perpendicular to the up-down direction, the reinforcing portion at least overlaps with an area within a range of twice the predetermined distance from the standing portion;
• and
• the locked portion is configured to be pressed against the first regulating portion from below in the up-down direction.
