Abstract

A card edge connector for electrically coupling between contact electrodes on an electric circuit board and harnesses includes: a housing with a board insertion opening; harness terminals coupling with the harnesses; and junction terminals coupling between contact electrodes and harness terminals. The contact electrodes include first and second contact electrodes on both of first and second surfaces of the board. Each first contact electrode is nearer one end of the board than each second contact electrode. The first and second contact electrodes on the first or second surface are aligned alternately along with a width direction of the board. A first or second end of the junction terminal contacting the contact electrode on the first or second surface extends from a first or second inner wall of the board insertion opening to reach a centerline of the board.
