ABSTRACT:
A connector for module that connects a module to a printed circuit board in a position wherein the board plane of the module is approximately parallel to the printed circuit board. This connector for module comprises a connector body having a receiving part that extends along the front side of a module being in the connection position and is provided in the rear face thereof with a groove into which the front side of the module is to be inserted, having a contact that is provided in the groove of the receiving part and contact a conductive pad while allowing the pad to shift in the direction of insertion/withdrawal when the module is in the insertion/withdrawal position in which the rear side is at a higher level than in the connection position, and having a supporting part that extend rearward from the receiving part to support both the left and right sides and the bottom of the module being in the connection position, and a metallic cover that is put over and is engaged to the connector body to sandwich the module between itself and the supporting part and keep the module in the connection position. This connector for module prevents defective connection and disconnection of the modules due to thermal load and elastic deformation. The connector for module reduces the effects of electromagnetic waves, etc. on the connector for module and the module to stably maintain the operation of the circuit.
