ABSTRACT:
A PC card connector in which a plurality of pin contacts are secured in a pin housing in a predetermined arrangement such that each of the plurality of pin contacts has a long and narrow terminal end protruding out from the pin housing. The front end portion of each terminal end is soldered onto a mounting surface of a printed board. The PC card connector includes first and second pin holders secured to the pin housing such that bottom surfaces of the pin holders are positioned opposite the mounting surface of the printed board, each of the first and second pin holders having a number of parallel guide grooves for receiving the terminal ends of the plurality of pin contacts. The bottom surfaces of the first and second pin holders are in resilient contact with the front end portions of the terminal ends, and the first and second pin holders are secured to the pin housing such that they are disposed, respectively, at the front and at the back of the pin housing, respectively, along the direction of insertion and removal of a PC card.
