CARD CONNECTOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stably joint a contact to a contact of an FFC, an FPC or a card. SOLUTION: An elastic metal plate is bent after stamping to provide one end with a bulge part formed to hold the FPC respectively from the upper and lower side to a slit provided at the center so as to cope with either surface fitting or back face fitting of the FPC or FFC, and to provide the intermediate part with folded spring structure not buckling when fitting the card. Further, the other end part of the folded spring structure is cleaned by a base edge part without contacting the resin face of the card. A semicylindrical protuberant part is thereby provided at the intermediate part of the folded spring structure, and the other end part of the connector is formed in preloading structure.
