Card connector reduced in operating force

摘要

In a connector including an insulator ( 21 ), a conductive contact ( 11 ) held by the insulator, and a cover ( 31 ) openable and closable for bring the card into press contact with the contact, the insulator has a holding portion ( 21 ) formed at its one end to hold one end portion of the card. On the other hand, the cover has an acting portion ( 33, 33 a) to be engaged with the other end portion of the card to press the card towards the contact when the cover is closed. The card is mounted so as to face a principal surface ( 21 a) of the insulator and brought into contact with a contacting portion ( 13 ) of the contact protruding on the principal surface of the insulator. The cover has a pivot portion to be rotatably engaged with the other end of the insulator.
