Connector

A method for manufacturing a connector comprising the steps of:

• providing a housing, terminals and guide members, wherein the terminals include leg parts to be connected to a board, and are integrally formed with the housing, and wherein the guide members are integrally formed with the housing and guide the leg parts;
• performing bending on the leg parts to form curved parts connected to back ends of horizontal parts protruding toward a back side from the housing so that vertical parts connected to the back ends of the curved parts extend toward a lower side;
• accommodating each of the vertical parts in a guide groove between adjacent guide walls protruding toward the back side from back surfaces of the guide members;
• and
• performing shaping on one of the guide walls on both sides of the guide groove and forming a guide plate that is integrally connected to the guide walls and overlaps with at least a part of a back surface of the vertical part.
