Abstract: A memory card is comprised of a synthetic resin frame, a memory board housed in a frame, metal contacts for connecting conductor patterns of a memory board and external pins, a connector body formed from synthetic resin having a number of contact compartments in which the contacts are received, a metal cover plate which covers an opening of the frame in which the memory board and the connector body are housed, and a cut-away portion which is formed on at least one of the contact compartments of the connector body and which is opposed to the cover plate.

Abstract: A memory card connector assembly superimposed on a substrate includes a plurality of memory card connectors stacked on top of each other whose contacts are to be connected to corresponding terminals of associated memory cards. The contacts of a lowermost memory card connector are soldered to the substrate, and the contacts of at least one upper memory card connector are connected to an FPC board.
