Abstract
A card-type connector, for use in cooperation with a socket, comprising an insulation board provided with grooves on its first and second faces. Electrical conductors are in the grooves and extend onto the first and second faces, bending around a first end of the board. A cover protecting a second end of the board, spaced apart from the first, includes the ends of the electrical conductors on each of the faces. When the connector is inserted into the socket with its second end leading, the electrical terminals of the socket first ride on the cover, and then contact the electrical conductors, thereby avoiding the peeling off or movement of the conductors resulting from the insertion. The connector may include a second cover between the first and second ends of the board and a cap at the first end. Preferably, the electrical conductors are fusible cut-out elements.
