1. An on-vehicle radar apparatus provided with at least one radar antenna pattern unit capable of transmitting and receiving radar waves, comprising:
a printed circuit board in which the at least one radar antenna pattern unit is mounted on a first surface thereof;
a case that supports the printed circuit board;
a cover that covers the printed circuit board from a portion opposite to the case, and is connected to the case, whereby the cover cooperating with the case surround the printed circuit board; and
a connector receiving portion formed on the case,
wherein
in a situation that a first connector provided with a first terminal to be connected to other equipment is mounted on the printed circuit board such that a direction along which the first terminal extends towards the other equipment forms a first angle with respect to the first surface of the printed circuit board,
the connector receiving portion receives, when the printed circuit board is supported by the case, the first connector such that the first connector is exposed from the case; and
in a situation that a second connector provided with a second terminal to be connected to other equipment is mounted on the printed circuit board such that a direction along which the second terminal extends towards the other equipment forms a second angle with respect to the first surface of the printed circuit board,
the connector receiving portion receives, when the printed circuit board is supported by the case, the second connector such that the second connector is exposed from the case.
