The present invention relates to a connector which is electrically connected to a memory card. The connector includes a substantially cylindrical housing and plural elastically deformable contacts inside the housing. The housing includes a card insertion slot which is cut and formed on one end side thereof and an abutting portion which is provided on the other end side of the card insertion slot. The plural contacts are provided in positions opposed to the card insertion slot and extend toward the other end side of the housing and the abutting portion. A gap between the distal ends of the plural contacts and the abutting portion is set smaller than a thickness of the memory card. According to the present invention, when the memory card is inserted in the card insertion slot and a proximal end side of the memory card is inclined to the other end side of the housing, a distal end of the memory card slides on surfaces of the contacts. Thus, even if the memory card is mishandled, damage to the contacts can be prevented.
