A connector includes substantially H-shaped contacts; fixtures fixing the connector to a substrate on longitudinal ends; a housing having a ceiling portion covering contact portions of the contacts, a protection wall at the end of the ceiling portion on the fitting opening side for preventing raising of the ceiling portion on being accidentally forced upward, extension walls at the longitudinal ends for holding the fixtures, and slits each between the extension wall and a bearing for a pivoting member; and the pivoting member having an actuating portion, urging portions, and anchoring holes and mounted on the housing such that between the connection portions and the pressure receiving portions of the contacts the urging portions perform a compact pivotal movement with rotation axis moving. The connector is mounted on one side surface of the substrate to achieve more reduced overall height and superior operationality of the pivoting member.
