Card adapter

摘要

Disclosed herein is a card adapter for electrically connecting electrical connecting portions of a card-shaped electronic device such as a CF card to contacts in a slot for a PC card provided in a personal computer. The card adapter 1 includes a chassis 10, a pair of conducting plates 40 provided on the upper and lower sides of the chassis 10, and a grounding member 20, and the like. The grounding member 20 is used to provide an electrical path for electrically connecting a grounding contact portion of the CF card to a grounding part of the slot without using the conducting plates 40 and it is formed into a single part. By using such a grounding member 20, the card adapter 1 can directly connect the grounding contact portion of the CF card to the grounding part of the slot to accomplish stable and reliable grounding.
