Card connector

Abstract

A card connector has: a connector housing 2 constituted of electrically insulating bodies in which is formed a bottomed card holding cavity that is open at the front and top and is enclosed on three sides by a pair of first and frames and by a third frame that links one pair of end portions of the first and second frames; contact terminals 5 and 6 deployed inside the connector housing's card holding cavity; and an open-close cover 3 that covers the openings of the connector housing's card holding cavity. The rear of the open-close cover is rotatably pivoted on the first and second frames. Thanks to such structure, the interior of the card holding cavity can be examined when a card is installed, so that a card connector is provided in which cards of differing size and thickness, etc., can be installed reliably and in a simple manner.
