ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a connector having a generally rectangular card and a housing having a generally box-shaped housing space for housing the card. The connector has a generally rectangular card and a housing having a generally box-shaped housing space for housing the card. The housing space includes a first side face; two second side faces adjoining the first side face, and an insert face adjoining the first side face and the second side faces for admitting the inserted card. The housing includes an engaging portion formed along the first side face of the housing space, and a pair of holding portions formed along the second side faces. Each of the holding portions includes a flexible portion extending along the second side face and elastically deformable outside, and a lock piece disposed along the flexible portion for covering a portion of the insert face. By lightly pushing the other end side of the card, the lock pieces can be pushed by the intermediate portions of the card, so that the card can be easily housed in the housing according to the principle of lever. Moreover, the connector can be made of a simple structure thereby to realize the size reduction of the connector.
