The invention offers a connector which does not require a sheet or suction aid to be attached to the connector when conveying the connector using a suction nozzle. That is, a female connector (10), capable of being conveyed by a suction nozzle (4) over a circuit board and placed onto the circuit board for surface mounting, comprising a housing (11) having a bottom wall portion (13) and a side wall portion (14) which extends upright from the bottom wall portion (13) to form a fitting space (15) therein; and a female-side conductor (12) having a first end portion (12b) leading inside the housing (11) and a second end portion (12c) leading outside of the housing (11); wherein the female-side conductor (12) is embedded inside the side wall portion (14) such that the front surface (12a) of the female-side conductor (12) is co-planar with the inner surface (14a) of the side wall portion (14) and is exposed to the fitting space (15); and an inner surface (13a) of the bottom wall portion (13) is a surface by which the suction nozzle (4) holds the female connector (10).
