Disclosed is a card reader connector (24) for mounting to an underlying printed circuit board (20) which is adapted to receive a storage medium in the form of an IC card (22). The card reader connector (24) comprises a body (30) including a lower plate (31) defining an opening (36) formed inwardly from one side thereof and sidewalls defining channels for guiding the IC card into insertion into the card reader connector. Solder tabs (37) adapted to be soldered to the printed circuit board are formed inwardly of the sidewalls toward the opening. A plurality of connection pins (40) are mounte d on the lower plate of the body having a contact portion (41) at one end for contacting a corresponding contact of the IC card, and a soldering portion (42) at the other end located within the opening for solder connector to the printed circuit board . Because the solder tabs (37) and the soldering portions (42) of the connection pins are soldered to the printed circuit board within the area occupied by the body, the connector eliminates the printed circuit board areas previously occupied by the soldering of these features outside the connector body. and thus allows the overall size of the printed circuit board to be made smaller or more densely packaged, thereby contributing to the trend of more compact andslim electronic equipment.
