1. A board attached connector comprising:
a circuit board including a plurality of first press-fitting holes and a second press-fitting hole; and
a connector configured to be mounted on a mounting surface of the circuit board,
wherein the connector includes a plurality of press-fit terminals configured to be press-fitted into the plurality of first press-fitting holes, and a housing holding the plurality of press-fit terminals,
wherein the housing includes a bottom surface and an extending portion extending along a first direction in which the plurality of press-fit terminals are press-fitted into the plurality of first press-fitting holes, and the extending portion is provided with a press-fitted portion configured to be press-fitted into the second press-fitting hole and a first portion that extends away from the bottom surface in the first direction,
wherein the board attached connector is configured such that in a temporarily mounted state in which the press-fitted portion is in contact with an edge of the second press-fitting hole, each of tips of the plurality of press-fit terminals in the first direction is located inside the plurality of first press-fitting holes without contacting the mounting surface
wherein each of the plurality of press-fit terminals includes a compliant portion that bulges in a direction orthogonal to the first direction,
wherein, in a mounted state in which the connector is mounted on the mounting surface of the circuit board, the compliant portion is configured to abut the first press-fitting hole, and
wherein the press-fitted portion protrudes from the first portion in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction and the press-fitted portion is inside of the second press-fitting hole when the compliant portion abuts the first press-fitting hole.
