ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly consists of a first connector (20) having a thickness substantially equal to that of an IC card (10) and placed in a recess (11) of the IC card which incorporates an electrical circuit and a second connector (30) to be plugged into the first connector. The first connector includes a shield case (21); a first dielectric housing (23) placed in the shield case; a pair of first foolproof structures (23C, 23D) provided on opposite sides of the first dielectric housing. The first foolproof structures are made from a combination of divisions each defined by horizontal and vertical dividing lines and extending forwardly from a front face (23B) of the first dielectric housing. The second connector includes a second dielectric housing with a terminal support (32) extending forwardly therefrom; a pair of second foolproof structures (32A, 32B) provided on opposite sides of the terminal support. The second foolproof structures are made in such configurations that they fit into the first foolproof structures, thereby preventing plugging a wrong connector.
