ABSTRACT:
A card connector has a dielectric support (12) and card-engaging contacts (14), wherein the contacts can be easily mounted on the support and are stably held in position thereon. Each strip-shaped contact has a contacting front end portion (44) that projects above the top face of the support, a central portion (42) that extends longitudinally rearward from the front portion and which is securely mounted on the support, and a rear end (46) for connecting to a circuit board. The central portion has a rear part with a strip-shaped middle section (124) extending in a longitudinal direction, and first and second feet (52, 58) lying on laterally opposite sides of the middle section. The support has a longitudinally extending groove (28) that receives the contact central portion, and has foot-holding slots (32, 34) on laterally opposite sides of the groove. Each slot has top and bottom slot walls (36, 40) that engage a corresponding one of the feet, to fix the location of the rear part of the central portion, and to prevent pivoting of the rear part about a longitudinal axis.
