A crystal oscillation circuit includes a main oscillation circuit, an auxiliary oscillation circuit, and a control circuit. The main oscillation circuit has a crystal resonator. The auxiliary oscillation circuit increases an exciting current of the crystal resonator to assist the start of oscillation of the main oscillation circuit. The control circuit connects the auxiliary oscillation circuit parallel to the main oscillation circuit at the start of oscillation to increase an exciting current of the crystal resonator.

The invention offers a connector which does not require a sheet or suction aid to be attached to the connector when conveying the connector using a suction nozzle. That is, a female connector (10), capable of being conveyed by a suction nozzle (4) over a circuit board and placed onto the circuit board for surface mounting, comprising a housing (11) having a bottom wall portion (13) and a side wall portion (14) which extends upright from the bottom wall portion (13) to form a fitting space (15) therein; and a female-side conductor (12) having a first end portion (12b) leading inside the housing (11) and a second end portion (12c) leading outside of the housing (11); wherein the female-side conductor (12) is embedded inside the side wall portion (14) such that the front surface (12a) of the female-side conductor (12) is co-planar with the inner surface (14a) of the side wall portion (14) and is exposed to the fitting space (15); and an inner surface (13a) of the bottom wall portion (13) is a surface by which the suction nozzle (4) holds the female connector (10).
