Abstract

A dual card type connector includes an insulating body having a first surface on a side thereof. First pins are mounted to the first surface. The insulating body further includes a second surface on the side thereof. Second pins are mounted to the second surface. A cover is mounted to the insulating body. The cover and the first surface of the insulating body together define a first insertion space for releasable engagement with a first electronic card. The cover and the second surface of the insulating body together define a second insertion space for releasable engagement with a second electronic card having a size different from that of the first electronic card. Thus, the dual card type connector can be used with a long, wide card or a short, narrow card without increasing the size of the connector.
