Card connector

A card connector mounted on a printed circuit board to allow a PC card to be electrically connected to the printed circuit board, comprising:

• a connector frame including a header section having a plurality of terminal pins which are connected to the PC card arranged along a width direction of the PC card and a pair of opposed guide arms each extending at each side end of the header section and allowing both side edges of the PC card to be guided along an insertion/withdrawal direction of the PC card;
• a plurality of pairs of mount brackets each having a body section mounted on the connector frame, a stand-off section extending from the body section and adapted to retain a predetermined distance between the connector frame and the printed circuit board, and a coupling section projected from the stand-off section into an opening of the printed circuit board and tightened by a fastening means from a side opposite to that of the printed circuit board whereby the connector frame is fixed to the printed circuit board, wherein a latch hole is provided in one of the mount bracket's body section and connector frame and a corresponding retaining claw is provided on the other to allow an insertion into the latch hole and, through an engagement of the retaining claw with the latch hole, the respective body section is fixed to the connector frame, and, when the mount bracket is inverted, the coupling section is situated in the same corresponding position, along a width and insertion/withdrawal directions, with the stand-off section set in that inverted position relative to a non-inverted position so that the printed circuit board card connector can be mounted in any selected side of the printed circuit board.
