A guide piece which guides the bottom surface of the first card is formed in a housing in which the first and second cards are selectively mounted, and a support surface which is disposed in a position toward the insertion port and on the upper side from the guide piece is formed on the protection plate. The first card is inserted in a state where the leading end thereof is inclined more downward than the rear end thereof.
