  • Publication number: 20040077188
    Abstract: A card connector assembly according to the present invention comprises a substrate on which wiring traces are formed and an electrical component is mounted, a plurality of contact lands connected to the respective wiring traces and arranged along an edge of the substrate, connecting traces that interconnect the respective contact lands and the respective wiring trace, and lands on the respective connecting traces, each land having a contact area for a test pin. Since test pins are in contact with the lands, no scratches are made on the contact lands. The commercial value of the card connector can thus be maintained.
