Card connector
The first card accommodating portion for accommodating the first card and the second card accommodating portion for accommodating the second card are formed in the connector housing in such a way that a part of the first and second card accommodating portions can be used commonly by the first and second cards. This construction allows two or more kinds of cards with different external shapes and different contact pad positions to be inserted into the connector from one and the same card insertion slot, thus reducing the space occupied by the card connector.
