Electrical connector for circuit board

An electrical connector for a circuit board, disposed on a mounting surface of the circuit board, to which a counterpart connector is fitted and connected, the electrical connector comprising:

• a plurality of terminals having a shape in which a metal plate member is bent in a plate thickness direction and disposed in an attitude in which a plate thickness surface is perpendicular to the mounting surface;
• and
• a housing that holds the plurality of terminals, in which the housing includes a fixed housing fixed to the circuit board via the terminal, and a movable housing relatively movable with respect to the fixed housing, wherein
• the plurality of terminals includes a first terminal and a second terminal disposed so as to overlap the first terminal in the plate thickness direction,
• the first terminal includes a first connection portion formed on one end side and connectable to a circuit portion of the circuit board, a first arm portion formed on another end side and contactable with the counterpart connector, and a first intermediate portion located between the first connection portion and the first arm portion,
• the first intermediate portion includes a first fixed-side plate portion located on a fixed housing side, a first movable-side plate portion located on a movable housing side and held by the movable housing, and a first elastic portion that is elastically displaceable and couples the first fixed-side plate portion to the first movable-side plate portion,
• the second terminal includes a second connection portion formed on one end side and connectable to the circuit portion of the circuit board, a second arm portion formed on another end side and contactable to the counterpart connector, and a second intermediate portion located between the second connection portion and the second arm portion and extending along the first intermediate portion,
• the second intermediate portion includes a second fixed-side plate portion located on the fixed housing side, a second movable-side plate portion located on the movable housing side and held by the movable housing, and a second elastic portion that is elastically displaceable and couples the second fixed-side plate portion to the second movable-side plate portion, and
• one of the first fixed-side plate portion and the second fixed-side plate portion is held by the fixed housing, and the other is not held by the fixed housing.
