1. A connector comprising:
a housing made of insulating resin; and
a contact assembly integrally formed with the housing by insert molding, wherein
the contact assembly includes
a base made of metal including a fixed part in a flat-plate shape fixed to the housing and a projecting part projecting from the fixed part at least in a thickness direction of the fixed part,
an insulating layer covering the base, and
a conductive pattern formed on the insulating layer, extending from the fixed part to the projecting part of the base, such that the conductive pattern is spaced from the fixed part of the base and spaced from the projecting part of the base by the insulating layer, the conductive pattern functioning as a contact,
the base includes an opposed-to board surface opposed to a board on which the connector is surface-mounted, and
the opposed-to board surface includes a solder connection part exposed toward the board without being covered with the housing so as to be soldered to a ground pattern of the board.
