Connector and forming method of connector

A connector configured to be pressed against an object to be connected to the object, wherein:

• the connector comprises an insert-molded body;
• the insert-molded body comprises a housing made of resin and a terminal;
• the terminal is partially embedded in the housing;
• the housing has a main portion;
• the main portion has an upper surface and a lower surface in an upper-lower direction;
• the lower surface of the main portion faces the object when the connector is connected to the object;
• the main portion is formed with a trace hole and an accommodation space;
• the trace hole extends downward from the upper surface of the main portion;
• the accommodation space is recessed upward from the lower surface of the main portion;
• the terminal has a held portion, a bent-back portion, a support portion and a contact portion;
• the held portion extends in a front-rear direction perpendicular to the upper-lower direction and is held by the housing so as to face, at least in part, the accommodation space;
• 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;
• the bent-back portion extends forward from the held portion;
• the support portion extends rearward from the bent-back portion and is resiliently deformable;
• the contact portion is supported by the support portion;
• the support portion and the contact portion are located under the held portion;
• each of the support portion and the contact portion has a size smaller than that of the wide portion in a lateral direction perpendicular to both the front-rear direction and the upper-lower direction;
• the support portion is partially accommodated in the accommodation space;
• the wide portion has opposite sides in the lateral direction each of which protrudes beyond the support portion in the lateral direction;
• and
• the wide portion is partially visible through the accommodation space when the insert-molded body is seen from below.
