ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a thin connector in which contacts to be brought into contact with terminals of a memory card are less liable to be deformed when the connector is assembled or an external force is exerted on the connector. The contacts (4) are located at a lower level than upper surfaces of protective projections (3a), and distal ends of the contacts (4) are located at a higher level than lower surfaces of the protective projections (3a). This prevents the deformation of the contacts, and allows the connector to have a smaller thickness. Further, the contacts are located at a lower level than the upper surfaces of the protective projections when the protective projections are deformed to be brought into contact with bottom portions of recesses of the memory card. Thus, the contacts are less liable to be deformed by an external force.
