<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a card connector which can quickly remove heat generated by a card despite its simple structure, and which is small in size, easily manufactured at a low cost, and has high reliability. <P>SOLUTION: A card connector attached to a substrate comprises: a housing which houses a card equipped with a terminal member; a connection terminal which is attached to the housing and comes into contact with the terminal member of the card; and a cover member which is attached to the housing and forms a card housing space between itself and the housing. The cover member comprises: a top plate; a plurality of side plates which are vertically arranged from side edges of the top plate; and fixing pieces which extend from lower end edges of the side plates. At least one of the fixing pieces is connected to a heat transfer pad arranged on the substrate. The top plate has a heat transfer improvement part which comes into contact with a top face of the card housed in the card housing space so as to improve heat transfer from the card to the top plate. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
