A card connector for receiving an inserted card module having electrode pads on one surface is provided. The card connector includes a housing and a plurality of terminals. The housing has a terminal holding portion. Each terminal has a base portion held in the terminal holding portion and a cantilevered arm portion extending from the base portion in a transverse direction relative to an insertion direction of the card module in plan view. The arm portion has a curved portion shaped so as to have a curved surface with a centerline of curvature positioned upwards in side view and a pair of oblique portions inclined relative to an extension direction of the arm portion on both sides of an apex portion positioned on a free end. The terminals contact the electrode pads of the card module.
