Abstract

A surface mounting type of connector for IC cards has a connector main body having two sets of electric contacts for connection to electric contacts of respective connectors provided in two IC cards. Contact portions of each set of the electric contacts are disposed in two rows in one direction to lie in a direction perpendicular to the one direction. The connector main body has a fitting recess formed in a lower portion thereof. Terminal portions of the two sets of electric contacts are arranged so as to lie exposed in two rows parallel to each other along facing side walls of the fitting recess. A terminal member having two parallel rows of terminal pieces to be connected to a wiring circuit board is fitted into the fitting recess such that the terminal pieces urgingly contact the terminal portions.
