1. A circuit board electrical connector comprising:
a plurality of terminals;
a fixed housing fixed to a circuit board via the terminals; and
a movable housing relatively movable with respect to the fixed housing, wherein the terminals are provided to be bridged between the fixed housing and the movable housing, the terminals include
a fixed side held portion held by the fixed housing,
a movable side held portion positioned on an inner side in a connector width direction than the fixed side held portion and held by the movable housing, and
an elastically deformable intermediate portion positioned between the fixed side held portion and the movable side held portion,
the intermediate portion includes at least one of elastic portions bent in a connector height direction,
the at least one of elastic portions includes a specific elastic portion configured to abut on the fixed housing when being elastically deformed by a predetermined deformation amount,
the specific elastic portion has an inverted U shape as a whole,
the specific elastic portion includes two straight portions extending in the connector height direction and a bent portion having a downwardly bent shape coupling upper end portions of the two straight portions, and
the upper end portion of one of the two straight portions on an outer side in the connector width direction is configured to abut on the fixed housing when the specific elastic portion is elastically deformed by the predetermined deformation amount.
