ABSTRACT:
The connector includes a card and a housing for housing the card. The housing includes a non-conductive housing main body having a housing space for housing the card, a contact for connecting the card, the contact being disposed in the housing main body, and a first conductor portion for connecting the card in the housing space, the first conductor portion being disposed in the housing main body but insulated from the contacts. According to the invention, the connector is first connected to the board and the board is grounded. Next, the card is inserted into the housing space. The card and the first conductor portion are thus connected each other. Then, electric charge electrified on the card face transfers to the ground through the first conductor portion and the board. Consequently, the electrical charge electrified on the card can be easily eliminated.
