Abstract
Disclosed is a PC card connector wherein since only one board is used, the number of steps necessary for carrying out, e.g., soldering on the board in the assembly process is cut down, the production cost is reduced, and the time required for the assembly work is shortened, wherein since a conversion connector is required to have a space for insertion of only one board, the connector itself and a unit receiving the connector are reduced in both size and weight, and wherein since an inner layer of the board serves as a specific ground layer, a sufficient grounding effect is achieved. The PC card connector comprises a single board provided with two sets of connector pins to which two PC cards are stuck and plugged, and a conversion connector to which the board is attached. The board is constructed of a multilayered board such that a signal pattern is formed on each of surface layers on both the surface sides or an inner layer on the inner side, and a ground pattern is formed on the inner layer or each of the surface layers.
