Abstract:
A card connector device, comprising:a frame into which a card with a plurality of contacts is inserted; a header formed at one end of said frame having a plurality of side by side connection terminals made of electrically conductive metal plate in a cantilevered state; wherein said connection terminals are provided with supporting portions supplied by said header and contact portions elastically contacted at free ends extended from said supporting portions with corresponding contacts of said card; wherein said connection terminals are so formed that said supporting portions are provided side by side on a straight line having a direction perpendicular to a card-inserting direction; wherein lengths from said supporting portions to said contact portions vary; and wherein as the length from said supporting portion to said contact portion increases, the rigidity of said supporting portion increases in such a way that the contact pressures of said contact portions against said contacts are substantially uniform; and an electrically conductive cover formed to cover said header and part of the card when the card is inserted into said electrically conductive cover with a plurality of window holes, wherein each window hole of the plurality of window holes faces a free end of the free ends of said connection terminals.
