A method of surface-mounting a connector on a circuit board using a rivet as a mounting member is provided. This method can provide an excellent assembling process by, if necessary, using the conventional solder dipping process or rivet caulking process. A rivet has a middle portion acting as a flange. In the rivet, one end is previously fixed to a connector side while the other end is inserted into a first hole formed in the surface of a circuit board, so that the flange can be closely attached to the circuit board. Particularly, since a soldering pad is formed adjacent to a hole formed in the circuit board, the rivet can be bonded to the circuit board while other electronic components are being surface-soldered on the circuit board.
