ABSTRACT:
A connector includes a housing for receiving a memory card in an inserted position; a mouth at one end of the housing for inserting the memory card into the housing and for removing the memory card from the housing, the insertion and removal being performed in a longitudinal direction of the housing; and a plurality of connection terminals arranged in the housing in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction and positioned to contact a plurality of contact pieces of a memory card in the inserted position, the plurality of connection terminals including at least one connection terminal for grounding, the connection terminal for grounding having a first contact part and a second contact part operable to contact a contact piece of the memory card for grounding of the memory card in the inserted position, the first contact part being positioned closer to the mouth than the second contact part and closer to the mouth than contact parts of connection terminals other than the connection terminal for grounding. This helps to insure that grounding of the memory card circuits is retained during card removal until the data signals are first disconnected.
