Abstract
In a connector to be mounted to a board having a pair of first through holes and at least one second through hole, a pair of supporting portions is formed on a housing holding a plurality of contacts arranged in a first direction. Each of the supporting portions protrudes from the housing in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. First bosses protrude from the supporting portions to be inserted into the first through holes, respectively. At least one second boss is coupled to the housing to be inserted into the at least one second through hole.
