ABSTRACT:
A card edge connector includes inner housings that accommodate electrically conducting terminals. The inner housings are rotatably supported within a box-like outer housing. A rotatable range is regulated by projected portions of the respective housings being abutted against each other, so that an opening of the outer housing is kept open to allow an end portion of a printed board to be inserted. In addition, the terminals do not come in contact with each other, so that the circuit is kept from being shorted. When the insertion of the end portion into the outer housing is started, the upper inner housing rides over the end portion slightly. However, as the end portion is further inserted to the depth of the outer housing, introducing cams formed on a hood enclosing the end portion cause the upper inner housing to rotate with a slight insertion force, thereby causing the terminals to be urged into full engagement with the end portion of the printed board.
