Abstract
A card connector comprises an elongate header, a number of terminals retained in the header, an alignment socket for interconnecting the terminals with a printed circuit board, and a grounding plate covering the header and the alignment socket. The alignment socket has a step-like configuration and comprises a plurality of passages arranged in a front row and a rear row for receiving the terminals. By such a design, the length of the card connector is significantly reduced thereby reducing occupied area of the card connector on the circuit board.
