Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce crosstalk by positioning an elastic arm of a second terminal within the cross section of an elastic arm of a first terminal in the length direction of a dielectric housing when a circuit board is inserted into a card slot and the elastic spring arms of the first and second terminals are deformed. SOLUTION: An elastic spring arm 40c of a signal terminal is positioned within the cross section in the length direction of an elastic spring arm 38c of an earthed terminal, parallel to the elastic spring arm 38c and slightly narrow. A finger part 40e is positioned within the cross section in the length direction of an enlarged head 38e, and an enlarged supporting part 40g is positioned within the cross section in the length direction of a shield 38g. The shape in the whole construction of a signal terminal 40 is positioned within the cross section in the length direction of the earthed terminal 38, the earthed terminal 38 is positioned in the shadow of the signal terminal 40 or laid down on the signal terminal 40. Therefore, good signal/capacitive coupling is formed between both terminals, bonding between signals is decreased, and crosstalk of a connector is substantially decreased.
