The ball (3A) is welded on a ball bed formed on the spring (4a) and is supported by an edge part of a frame opening (3B). By being supported by the ball (3a) and the edge part (3B), the chip card can be inserted into the connector from several directions. An installation direction is restricted only by a holder of the chip card and a structure of the electronic unit. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
