A header contact fixes a header housing reliably and prevents separation or the like of a soldering part so as to secure a function of signal connection and enhance the electric reliability of a header connector. The header contact (110) is provided in the header connector (100) that is to be mounted on a surface of an object for mounting (B) having conductor pattern. This header contact (110) comprises a contacting part (112)which is to contact a socket contact (220) of a counterpart socket connector (200), and a first connecting part (113) and a second connecting part (114)which are to be soldered onto the conductor pattern (FP), (SP) of the object for mounting (B).
