Abstract
A card insertion slot in the card connector through which two types of cards, large and small cards, can be selectively installed in a card accommodation space include first and second guideways in corresponding to the sizes of the cards. The card connector includes first and second contacts, a lock bracket configured to detect the width of the large card, an actuator configured to be rotatable, and a partition member including a partition plate configured to be movable. When the large card is inserted into the card connector, the lock bracket is moved from the first position to the second position. When the large card is further fed into the card connector, the actuator is rotated from the first position to the second position, and the partition plate is moved from the first position to the second position.
