A connector for a memory card 11 comprises the housing 12, the plate 14, the guide plate 16, the lock system 18, and the connector pin keeping part 20. Because the connector pin keeping part 20 is formed as horizontally bridged to a rear surface of the housing 12, and also the press-fitting part 40d of the connector pin 40 is press-fitted with a perpendicular state, the connector for a memory card 11 not only can be miniaturized but also can achieve a reduced thickness by restricting an amount protruding to a rear side within a small volume. Therefore, because a shape of the connector pin 40 is bent like a L-shape and the fixing hole 20a of the connector pin keeping part 20 is extended in an up-down direction and formed in the housing 12, it can promote the miniaturization and reduced thickness of the connector for a memory card 11. As a result, reducing a weight of the connector for a memory card 11 can also be attained.
