A straddle connector 10 comprises a housing 20 having an opening 21, and a separator 30 which is pushed by an edge 52 of a circuit board 50 when the latter is inserted in the opening 21. Connection sections 41 of the contacts 40 arranged in two rows along the inner walls of the opening 21 of the housing 20 are in contact with cam surfaces of the separator 30 which establishes a gap between opposing connection sections 41 during the insertion of the circuit board 50. After the insertion is completed, the gap between the connection sections 41 closes and the connection sections are applied to the solder-coated conductive pads 51, located on the surfaces of the circuit board, at an appropriate pressure. This arrangement avoids scraping off of the solder from the conductive pads 51 by the connection sections 41 during the connection of the connector to the circuit board. <IMAGE> |
