A connector includes a housing and a plurality of contacts, and the bottom portion of the housing has a holding bar for holding the contacts. In a region of the bottom portion of the housing corresponding to tips of all the contacts extending from the holding bar upwardly and toward the interior of the housing, a rectangular recess is provided, and a contact buckling-preventing plate is provided in the recess, which includes an upper surface portion formed with through-holes at locations corresponding to contact portions of the contacts, partition walls forming defined spaces for accommodating the contacts in cooperation with the upper surface portion, and jointing ends to be connected to both lateral inner ends of the recess on the side of the holding bar to permit a pivotal movement of the plate. In this manner, the connector can realize an even more reduced overall height and prevent the buckling of contacts upon extraordinary insertion and removal of a card-shaped connecting object.
