ABSTRACT:
An IC card connector includes an insulative housing and two arrays of terminals retained therein. The housing has a mating face and an opposite mounting face. A space is defined adjacent to the mating face for receiving an IC card therein. An elongate spacer extends from the mounting face and defines a number of notches having different predetermined depths. Each terminal forms a mating portion and an opposite mounting portion. The mating portion extends beyond the mating face and into the space for engaging an IC card. The mounting portion forms a solder end which is secured in the notch and soldered to a circuit board using surface mount technology. All the terminals in one array are dimensioned the same. When the mounting portions of the terminals are secured in the notches, the mating portions therefore extend different predetermined lengths beyond the mating face.
