Abstract
In a connector housing (2), resinous guide walls (4,5) that slide and guide a card holder (3) are erected on both sides in a width direction (B) perpendicular to a direction (A) in which the card holder (3) holding a memory card (C) is inserted. The metallic guide walls (4,5) are provided with metallic reinforcement tabs (6,7) molded integrally with the guide walls (4,5) simultaneously. The metallic reinforcement tabs (6,7) can give rigidity and elasticity to the resinous guide walls (4,5). Therefore, after the card holder (3) is inserted, the card holder (3) inserted therein can be stably held so as not to easily slip off.
