Abstract
A board electrical connector includes a plurality of the terminals provided in a housing. The terminals are attached to a circuit board on one side of the housing and fit each other with a middle connector on the other side of the housing. The terminals contact with pad portions of middle members of the middle connector. A receiving groove having an opening portion to receive an edge portion of the middle member of the middle connector is provided in the housing. A contact portion of the terminal enters the receiving groove for contacting with the middle member with a contact pressure. A protrusion having a smaller entry amount than that of the contact portion is provided on an inner wall surface of the receiving groove in a receiving direction of the receiving groove. The protrusion is situated at the same position as that of the contact portion.
