In the card connector device of the present invention, the housing is provided with an opening communicating with an insertion opening for inserting a card, and the ground of the card inserted into the insertion opening with the lower surface facing the upper part of the housing. An elastic contact portion elastically contacting the contact is provided by extending a part of the cover, and the elastic contact portion is introduced into the housing through the opening when the cover is attached to the housing and extends from the insertion opening toward the connector portion. Since the cover can be extended from above, the cover can be assembled to the housing from above, and when used by being supported on the lower surface of the circuit board, the upper surface of the card is inserted upward into the insertion opening. In addition, since the number of parts does not increase, when the card is supported on the lower surface of the circuit board, the upper surface of the card faces upward. It is possible to provide a good inexpensive card connector device assembly workability that can be plugged.

Further, the elastic contact portion has a base end portion extending along an end surface of the guide portion on the insertion opening side, and a lower end portion of the base end portion extending toward a central portion of the insertion opening. Since there is a drawer portion and a tongue piece portion having a tip portion of the drawer portion extending from the insertion opening toward the connector portion, the elastic contact portion and the housing collide with each other to attach the cover. Is not hindered, it is possible to reliably prevent deterioration of the assembly workability of the connector device.

Further, since a groove portion is formed in the pair of guide portions along the insertion direction of the card and the card is inserted into the groove portion from the insertion opening side, the card is arranged in parallel with the connector portion. It is possible to smoothly guide to a plurality of terminals.
