Abstract:
A mounting structure of a card connector for use with an IC card, said mounting structure comprising a base plate having contacts for contacting the IC card, said base plate being surface mounted on an upper surface of a wiring circuit board through said contacts, wherein an upper surface of said base plate is inclined with respect to the upper surface of said wiring circuit board to define an inclination surface, a card insertion space being formed by said inclination surface of said base plate, a card inlet/outlet port being formed at an upper inclination end of said base plate to allow for insertion of the IC card into said card insertion space from said upper inclination end to a lower inclination end of said base plate such that, when the IC card is inserted into said card insertion space through said card inlet/outlet port, the IC card is retained in an inclined posture within said card insertion space so that the IC card can be pressure contacted with said contacts of said base plate.
