An object of the present invention is to prevent a housing from being deformed by a pressing operation of a pressing jig.

<Paragraphs id="pa02" num="0002" xmlns:base="http://www.sipo.gov.cn/XMLSchema/base">With terminal fittings 40 fixedly pierced through a back wall 22 of a receptacle 21 of a housing 20, a pressing jig 60 presses the inner surface of the back wall 22 to move the housing 20 toward a circuit board 50, whereby press-in portions 44 formed at leading end sides of the terminal fittings 40 are pressed into through holes 51 formed in the circuit board 50 for connection. The terminal fittings 40 are formed with receiving portions 43 bulging out sideways along widthwise direction, and these receiving portions 43 are provided with jig receiving surfaces 45 to be exposed at the inner surface of the back wall 22 of the receptacle 21. A pressing surface 61 of the pressing jig 60 comes into contact with the jig receiving surfaces 45, whereby a pressing force of the pressing jig 60 is directly received by the terminal fittings 40.
