A board connector (A) is provided with a housing (10) placed on a circuit board (P) and including a terminal holding wall (11) substantially at a right angle to the circuit board (P) and supporting walls (15) extending rearward from sides of the terminal holding wall (11). Terminal fittings (25, 26) penetrate through the terminal holding wall (11) and are connectable to the circuit board (P) behind the terminal holding portion (11). Fixing brackets are mounted on the supporting walls (15) and are fixable to the circuit board (P) by soldering. A reinforcing portion (20: 21 or 23) links the supporting walls (15) and a rear surface of the terminal holding wall (11).
