Abstract

A connector is provided. The connector is for connecting an electronic card. The electronic card comprises a first card side and a second card side, a first notch formed on the first card side, and a second notch formed on the second card side. The connector comprises a body, a first fixer and a second fixer. The body comprises a first side, a second side and a slot. The first fixer is disposed on the first side, wherein the first fixer pivots between a first orientation and a second orientation, and the first fixer abuts the first notch when the first fixer is in the first orientation. The second fixer is disposed on the second side, wherein the second fixer abuts the second notch via elastic force.
