ABSTRACT:
The connector housing30is formed with a pair of guide grooves50a,50band a pair of side walls60. The guide grooves50a,50bsupport the both side edges of the upper body portion21of the thick first card20and also the both side edges of the card body11of the thin second card10and guide these cards as they are inserted or extracted. The side walls60define, below a space between the paired guide grooves50a,50b, a space in which to accommodate the lower body portion23of the first card20. This construction ensures that, whichever of the first and second cards is inserted, the elastic displacements of the contact terminals40of a card connector1remain the same, allowing the card to be electrically connected stably.
