ABSTRACT:
A card connector includes a required number of contacts, a housing holding and arranging said contacts therein and having a fitting opening into which the card is inserted, and a switching unit for detecting the insertion and removal of the card. The switching unit includes a first switching terminal and a second switching terminal. When the card is not yet inserted into the connector, the first and second switching terminals contact each other or do not contact each other, and when the card has been inserted into the connector, the first switching terminal is displaced obliquely downward in relation to the inserting direction of the card so that the first and second switching terminals do not contact each other or contact each other, thereby enabling the inserted or removed condition of said card to be detected with great certainty.
