Abstract: A connector includes a housing and a plurality of signal contacts and a plurality of ground contacts. Each contact includes a contact portion that contacts an object, a connection portion mounted on a substrate, and a fixing portion located between the contact portion and the connection portion in the vicinity of the connection portion. The signal contact and the ground contact are aligned and held in the housing, and the fixing portion is fixed to the housing. When the plurality of signal contacts are arranged between the ground contacts, at least two of the ground contacts are coupled and connected integrally or by a separate component, the coupling and connection being made in a section of each ground contact between one end (leading end) of the contact portion and the fixing portion, so that high-frequency transmission characteristics are improved.

Abstract: A card connector into and from which a card is inserted and removed, includes a plurality of contacts each having a contact portion to contact the card, a housing arranging and holding the contacts and having a fitting opening for inserting the card, a guide frame formed integrally with or separately from the housing and having guide portions for guiding the card to the contacts, a shell enclosing that part of the guide frame in which removing device is installed for removing the card from the card connector, and terminals arranged on the side of the leading end of the fitting opening for preventing troubles caused by static electricity. One of the terminals is provided with an extending piece extending onto the side opposite from the connection portion to be connected to a substrate. The shell is provided with an extending portion adapted to contact the extending piece. The card connector thus constructed is free from secondary discharge.
