Abstract

A multi-pole connector having a slider adapted to be moved, by the tip of a card inserted into the connector, from a first position where the slider supports contacts of contact pieces disposed side by side in the housing of the connector, to a second position where the slider is located rearward of the contacts is related. When the slider is moved between the first position and the second position with the card tip coming in contact with the slider, the contacts are slidingly transferred between the external contact pieces of the card and the contact supporting surfaces of the slider which are set at the same levels or substantially at the same levels as those of the external contact pieces. When the slider is moved from the first position to the second position or when the slider is located in the second position, the card is locked to the slider by the engagement pieces which are swung as supported by guide surfaces formed in the housing.
