1. A connector housing including a terminal housing in which at least one connector terminal configured to electrically connect two printed circuit boards to each other is housed,
said terminal housing including a holder configured to hold said connector terminal, said holder being elastically deformable in accordance with a displacement of said connector terminal, said holder including a first holder configured to hold said connector terminal in a non-fixed condition, and a second holder configured to hold said connector terminal in a fixed condition, each of said first holder and said second holder including a pair of elastic arms, said first holder being configured to hold said connector terminal in such a manner that a gap is formed between said connector terminal and at least one of said pair of elastic arms of said first holder, said second holder being configured to hold said connector terminal in such a manner that no gap is formed between said connector terminal and said pair of elastic arms of said second holder, and said connector housing further comprising a pair of projections, each projecting from one of said pair of elastic arms of said second holder towards another one of said pair of elastic arms of said second holder in a space formed between said pair of elastic arms of said second holder, each of said pair of projections being configured to make contact at a side with said connector terminal, and said pair of projections being closer to a proximal end of said second holder than said connector terminal.
