A card connector configured to accommodate a first card or a second card, wherein a first size of the first card and a second size of the second card are the same, wherein a first type of the first card and a second type of the second card are different, and wherein the card connector comprises:
- a plurality of first terminals arranged to form a first card access area configured to install the first card, wherein the first terminals are arranged in two rows and three columns and configured to be electrically coupled to the first card;
- and
- one or more second terminals respectively arranged on one side of the two rows and distributed on a periphery of the first card access area,
- wherein the first terminals and the one or more second terminals form a second card access area configured to install the second card,
- wherein the first terminals and the one or more second terminals are configured to be electrically coupled to the second card,
- wherein the one or more second terminals are configured to abut against the first card when the first card is inserted into the card connector, and
- wherein the first terminals and the one or more second terminals are both configured to electrically couple to the second card when the second card is inserted into the card connector.
A card holder comprising:
- a housing comprising an accommodating space;
- and
- at least one card connector disposed in the accommodating space and comprising:
- a plurality of first terminals arranged to form a first card access area configured to install a first card, wherein the first terminals are arranged in two rows and three columns and configured to be electrically coupled to the first card;
- and
- one or more second terminals respectively arranged on one side of the two rows and distributed on a periphery of the first card access area,
- wherein the first terminals and the one or more second terminals form a second card access area configured to install a second card,
- wherein a first size of the first card and a second size of the second card are the same,
- wherein a first type of the first card and a second type of the second card are different,
- wherein the first terminals and the one or more second terminals are configured to be electrically coupled to the second card,
- wherein the one or more second terminals abut against the first card when the first card is inserted into the card connector, and
- wherein the first terminals and the one or more second terminals are both electrically coupled to the second card when the second card is inserted into the card connector.
A terminal device comprising:
- a circuit board;
- and
- a card holder electrically coupled to the circuit board and comprising:
- a housing comprising an accommodating space;
- and
- at least one card connector disposed in the accommodating space and comprising:
- a plurality of first terminals arranged to form a first card access area configured to install a first card, wherein the first terminals are arranged in two rows and three columns and configured to be electrically coupled to the first card;
- and
- one or more second terminals respectively arranged on one side of the two rows and distributed on a periphery of the first card access area,
- wherein the first terminals and the one or more second terminals form a second card access area configured to install a second card,
- wherein a first size of the first card and a second size of the second card are the same,
- wherein a first type of the first card and a second type of the second card are different,
- wherein the first terminals and the one or more second terminals are configured to be electrically coupled to the second card,
- wherein the one or more second terminals abut against the first card when the first card is inserted into the card connector, and
- wherein the first terminals and the one or more second terminals are both electrically coupled to the second card when the second card is inserted into the card connector.
