Abstract
The present invention provides a card connector assembly that is used for the connection with two cards having mutually different transmission speeds and that can maintain transmission characteristics while minimizing the amount of an expensive FPC used. The card connector assembly comprises stacked first and second card connectors for connection with two cards having mutually different transmission speeds, and transmission paths for connecting the first and second card connectors to a circuit board. The transmission path for the first card connector to which a card with a relatively high transmission speed is to be connected is constructed from an FPC to which the first card connector is connected. The transmission path for the second card connector to which a card with a relatively low transmission speed is to be connected comprises terminal parts that extend from the second card connector, and a rigid board to which the terminal parts are connected. The FPC and the rigid board are integrally fastened together.
