Abstract
A contact construction requiring minimum space above a connector allowing installation of a connection cable on a circuit board in a layout direction of contacts that provides increased freedom in wiring/board design. A bottom surface of the housing forms a mounting surface of the circuit board while a top surface forms a cable layout surface for laying out the connection cable in the surface direction of the circuit board. A bottom end of a terminal in the housing protrudes toward the circuit board side to form a contact part to connect with the circuit board, and the top end forms a connection part to connect with the connection cable. A plurality of terminals is provided in a row in the housing, a plurality of wires is laid out on the cable layout surface in the circuit board direction, ensuring each connection cable is electrically connected to the desired terminal.
