Connector memory for an IC memory card with a small thickness

摘要

Preferably for use in an IC memory card, a connector member (1) is for connection to a counterpart connector and comprises a plurality of contacts (5) and an insulator block (3) insulating the contacts and used as a guide frame (30) for guiding a fitting portion of the counterpart connector with the insulator block provided with an engaging portion (33) for engaging the fitting portion when the counterpart connector is connected to the connector member. More particularly, the engaging portion comprises a beam (40) resiliently supported by each edge block wall of the guide frame and a protrusion (41) for engaging a notch formed in the fitting portion when the fitting portion is received along the guide frame.
