A card connector into and from which at least one card is inserted and removed, including a plurality of contacts each having a contact portion adapted to contact said card, and a housing arranging and holding said contacts and having a fitting opening into which said card is inserted, wherein said housing is provided with a terminal at one end in the width direction of the housing, said terminal is substantially in the form of an L-shape and includes a contact portion and a tip at one end contacting a side edge of said card, a connection portion at the other end being connected to a substrate, and a fixed portion between said connection portion and said contact portion, the contact portion contacts the side of said card and carries out the electrical connection of said card and said substrate for preventing interference caused by the electro-static discharae when said card has been normally inserted, and the tip of said contact portion abuts against an end face of said card to mechanically preclude said card from being erroneously inserted, and said housing is further provided with a notch at a predetermined position for permitting part of said terminal to extend into said fitting opening.
