Abstract

Une carte est facilement montée par une opération simple même dans le cas du montage d'une pluralité de types de cartes en divisant une section de montage de carte en utilisant une plaque de cloisonnement. Un connecteur pour cartes est pourvu d'un logement comportant une section de montage de carte sur laquelle une pluralité de cartes peuvent être montées de manière sélective, d'une plaque de cloisonnement (5) qui divise la section de montage de carte en des parties supérieure et inférieure, et d'un élément de pression (9) qui presse le côté d'orifice d'insertion de carte (8) de la plaque de cloisonnement (5) vers le côté de l'une des sections de montage de carte divisées par la plaque de cloisonnement (5). La plaque de cloisonnement (5) est supportée sur le logement de sorte que l'autre côté dans la direction d'insertion de carte peut se déplacer verticalement, le côté d'orifice d'insertion de carte (8) tourne avec l'autre côté dans la direction d'insertion de carte en tant que point de support lorsque la carte est insérée dans l'une des sections de montage de carte, et la plaque de cloisonnement entière se déplace verticalement.
