1. A connector, comprising:
- a socket including a socket fitting body provided with socket terminals; and
a header including a header fitting body provided with header terminals, the socket fitting body and header fitting body being fitted to each other to bring the socket terminals and header terminals in contact with each other, whereinthe socket fitting body and the header fitting body are rectangular,a protrusion is formed in a portion of a sidewall surface on the inner side of the socket fitting body, the portion being different in the longitudinal direction from a portion where the socket terminals are provided,an opposite surface is formed at a portion of a sidewall surface on the outer side of the header fitting body that corresponds to the protrusion in the longitudinal direction and is different from a portion where the header terminals are provided, the opposite surface facing a side surface of the corresponding protrusion in the longitudinal direction with the socket fitting body and the header fitting body fitted to each other,the socket fitting body including an attachment piece attached to a circuit substrate, andthe attachment piece is formed outwardly in the longitudinal direction from the protrusion so that the attachment piece and the protrusion are not aligned along a given axis extending in a width direction of the connector.

Abstract
A connector includes: a socket having a rectangular socket fitting body provided with socket terminals; and a header having a rectangular header fitting body provided with header terminals. An opposite surface is provided at a portion of a sidewall surface on the outer side of the header fitting body that correspond to a protrusion in the longitudinal direction and is different from the portion where the header terminals are provided, the opposite surface facing at least one of both side surfaces of the corresponding protrusion in the width direction with the socket fitting body and the header fitting body fitted to each other.
