Abstract
The base plate 31 of the connector housing is provided with the raised portion 50 that fits into one of the recessed portions 26 in the card 20 for the contact pads 27 when the card 20 is inserted. The raised portion 50 is made to function as a stopper to block the card from being inserted further when the card is wrongly inserted back to front, thereby preventing a possible deformation of the contact terminals on the connector side in the event that the card is wrongly inserted.
