A card connector carrier structure, suitable for being mounted within a hand-held electronic device, comprises a circuit board (210) and a support tray (230) mounted to the circuit board. The circuit board is provided with a slot (216) through a thickness thereof. The support tray is formed from a thin sheet that includes a connector-receiving region (234) in the slot of the circuit board and an attachment member (232) attached to a surface (212) of the circuit board at a periphery of the slot. A card connector is further arranged in the connector-receiving region of the support tray within the slot of the circuit board. The card connector is thereby positioned within the slot, whereby an overall thickness of the card connector and the circuit board is reduced, and accordingly, a thickness of a hand-held electronic device incorporating the card connector and the circuit board can be reduced.
