Abstract
Disclosed is a circuit board connector in which stress will not be produced in solder even if there is a change in ambient temperature, and in which it is possible to reduce residual stress, which accompanies hardening of the solder, produced by a difference in heat shrinkage between the circuit board and the connector, thereby making it possible to prevent cracking of the solder and peeling off of circuit patterns. The circuit board connector has a plurality of electrical contacts arranged in a row on a connector body, the connector body including a plurality of holding portions for independently holding respective ones of the plurality of electrical contacts, and deformable portions flexibly interconnecting the plurality of holding portions in such a manner that the holding portions are capable of moving relative to one another.
