Abstract
A card connector including a body made of an integral molded product of a synthetic resin, a head portion from which a pair of arms are extended, and a sheet metal frame. The arms have multipolar contacts. The sheet metal frame is stretched between the arms of the body, and cooperate with the body to form a card insertion space. The arms are prevented from being deformed, to adequately define the lateral width of a card insertion slot, whereby the operability of card insertion is maintained to a satisfactory level.
Claims8
A card connector comprising:
- a body made of an integral molded product of a synthetic resin, said body including a head portion and a pair of arms which extend outwardly from said head portion, each arm of said pair of arms including a foremost end portion
- a plurality of multipolar contacts;
- and
- a sheet metal frame which extends between said pair of arms, and which cooperates with said body to form a card insertion space, wherein:
- said sheet metal frame including arm support means for blocking inward deflections of said foremost end portions,
- said arm support means is configured by a receiving piece which defines opposing inward faces and which butts against an inward engagement face that is provided in a foremost end portion of one of said arms,
- said arm support means is extended in a thickness direction of a card C which is to be inserted into said card insertion space, and
- a lateral width W of an insertion slot of said card insertion space is defined by a distance between said opposing inward faces of said receiving piece.
