Abstract
The present invention relates to a connector for electrically connecting a card and a lead wire. The connector includes a housing to and from which the card can be inserted and pulled out along a surface of the housing and a contact built in the housing, the contact having a pair of exposed ends, one of the exposed ends capable of connecting to the lead wire, the other of the exposed ends capable of connecting to the card when the card is inserted. The housing has a first communication hole communicating with the contact, and the first communication hole has a diameter which allows a probe for a connector conduction test to be inserted into the first communication hole. According to the present invention, the first communication hole defined by the support pin for supporting the contacts are utilized as the insertion holes of the probe for the connector conduction test, so that production efficiency of the connector can be improved.
