Card connector capable of preventing an object and contacts from being damaged and achieving excellent reliability of connection

摘要

In a card connector for connection with a card-like object (12) having a terminal (120) on one surface thereof, a base insulator (2) has a principal surface and an inclined surface (24) brought into engagement with a first part of the object to move the first part towards the principal surface in accordance with movement of the object along the principal surface. A contact (3) is held to the base insulator and has a contacting portion (31) located above the principal surface. A cover insulator (4) is opposite the principal surface and is provided with an engaging portion (43) and a pressing portion (44). The engaging portion is brought into engagement with the object and is moved towards the principal surface together with the first part of the object in accordance with movement of the object along the principal surface. The pressing portion presses a second part of the object towards the principal surface to make the terminal be brought into contact with the contacting portion of the contact.
