Abstract
In order to provide a connector for a memory card that seeks the reduction of the number of parts and the reduction of costs, there is provided a connector for a memory card including an insulating housing having plural power contacts and signal contacts lined up, and an accommodating unit for allowing installation of a memory card therein to bring an electric circuit in the memory card and an electric circuit on a printed circuit board into electrical connection through the power contacts and the signal contacts. A detecting contact for detecting that the memory card has been installed in the accommodating unit is further provided in the insulating housing along the power contact and the signal contact, and a leading end of the detecting contact is placed so as to be in contact with a pad of the memory card accommodated in the accommodating unit.
