the supporting beam portion extends in a width direction perpendicular to the pitch direction;
the first supporting portion extends upward in an up-down direction perpendicular to both the pitch direction and the width direction from one of end portions of the supporting beam portion and has resilience;
the first contact point is supported by the first supporting portion;
the second supporting portion extends upward in the up-down direction from a remaining one of the end portions of the supporting beam portion and has resilience;
the second contact point is supported by the second supporting portion so that the second contact point faces the first contact point in the width direction;
the protruding portion protrudes from the supporting beam portion in the pitch direction;
the supporting beam portion has a maximum size same as that of the first supporting portion and as that of the second supporting portion in the pitch direction;
the protruding portion is embedded in the holding member in part, so that the terminal is held by the holding member; and
