1. A connector comprising:
half body parts, each including a connector main body and a plurality of terminals arranged at a predetermined pitch and integrated with the connector main body by insert molding;
a main body end part formed at both ends of the connector main body by coupling connector main bodies of a half body part arranged in parallel, and a reinforcing metal fitting integrated with the main body end part, wherein;
each of the terminals includes a tail part extending outward in a width direction of the connector main body, adjacent terminals of the plurality of terminals held by each connector main body are facing in the opposite direction with respect to the width direction of the connector main body, the pitch of a tail part extending towards each side in the width direction of each connector main body is twice the pitch of the terminals held by each connector main body, and a tail part extending from the connector main body of one half body part towards the connector main body of an adjacent half body part is shifted only by a half pitch with respect to a tail part extending from the connector main body of the adjacent half body part towards the connector main body of the one half body part.
