Abstract
A connector includes a housing having a card receiving space for selectively receiving one of two or more different electronic cards. A protective board is mounted on the bottom wall defining the card receiving space and slideable in a front/rear direction of the housing. First terminals and second terminals are mounted in the card receiving space. The protective board is not moved and the first terminals are in electrical contact with contacts of an electronic card when the electronic card is inserted into the card receiving space. When another electronic card is inserted into the card receiving space, the protective board is moved rearward to press the first terminals into guide slots in the protective board, allowing electrical connection of another electronic card with the second terminals while preventing electrical connection with the first terminals.
