Abstract

The housing 10 is formed such that when the tilting angle of a miniature card 70 is in a predetermined range of acute angle (e.g., 20 to 25 degrees), the lower end 70a of the miniature card 70 is insertable into the groove 14 of the housing 10. In addition, guide portions 27 and 28 are provided on the front surface of the rear wall 11 and on the upper end of the front wall 12, respectively, to lead the lower end 70a of the miniature card 70 which is tilted to an angle greater than the predetermined range. Thereby, the space required for the installation of the miniature card is made relatively small to produce a compact connector. The groove 14, into which the lower end 70a of the miniature card 70 is inserted for the installation of the miniature card, is formed or defined by the rear wall 11 and the front wall 12 of the housing 10, and lateral arms 13 are provided at the lateral ends of the rear and front walls 11 and 12 to connect these walls. Furthermore, a plurality of plate-like portions 19 are provided parallel with one another in a laterally extending row, each plate-like portion spanning in the front and rear direction and connecting the rear and front walls 11 and 12 at the lower end of the groove 14. As a result, the connector has a strength sufficient to withstand the pressure which is received from the lower end 70a of the miniature card 70 during the installation of the miniature card.
