PURPOSE: To provide a method for enabling high density connections on a circuit board by making pitches of junction edges to be smaller than the pitches of contacting edges. CONSTITUTION: A surface-mounted connector 10 includes a main connector body 12 and multiple contacts 14, which are fixed independently of one another in the main connector body 12. The multiple contacts 14 have contacting edges, which are arranged in an interfitting section 18 of the main connector body 12, tails 26 which stretch from the contacting edges and project towards the side surface of the main connector body 12, and junction edges 28 which are formed at the tips of the tails 26. Each pair of the tails 26 of the contacts 14, one from the upper line and the other from the lower, are bent in a direction nearer to each other via a first vertical bending part 30 and are also bent in the direction away from each other, via a the second lateral offset part. Thus, each of the junction edges 28 of the contacts 14 is arranged in a line at pitches which is half as much as the pitches of the contacting edges on a surface of a board P. |
