ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to, for example, a connector into which two kinds of memory cards with different thicknesses are insertable selectively. The connector includes: a housing which has a card insertion port; plural first contacts provided inside the housing; and plural second contacts provided between the first contacts and the card insertion port. The second contacts extend toward the first contacts and include: first contact portions provided at distal ends of the second contacts; and second contact portions provided further on proximal end sides of the second contacts than the first contacts. According to the invention, when the thick memory cards is inserted, the second contact portions come into abutment against the thick memory card, and when the thin memory cards is inserted, the first contact portions come into abutment against the thin memory card. Thus, durability of the connector can be improved.
