Abstract
In the IC card connector of the present invention, a single supporting projection is provided on a bottom wall of a housing, so when the housing is put on a circuit board, it can be supported at three points: one point of the supporting projection and two points of terminal portions of pin terminals. Therefore, even in the event of a difference in height of the supporting projection, there is no fear of the terminal portions being lifted and it is possible to keep the terminal portions close to a conductive pattern, whereby the terminal portions can be soldered to the conductive pattern in a reliable manner.
