11 . A card connector, comprising:
a card connector base comprising a first area and a second area, wherein a first spring plate group is disposed in the first area, and a second spring plate group and a third spring plate group are disposed in different positions of the second area; a limiting structure comprising a first limiting part and a second limiting part, wherein the first limiting part is used to limit a first data card in the first area, and the second limiting part is used to limit a second data card or a third data card in the second area; and wherein the first spring plate group is configured to electrically connect to edge connectors of the first data card when the first data card is limited in the first area, the second spring plate group is configured to electrically connect to edge connectors of the second data card when the second data card is limited in the second area, and the third spring plate group is configured to electrically connect to edge connectors of the third data card when the third data card is limited in the second area.

12 . The card connector according to claim 11 , wherein:
the first limiting part is a first groove, and the first groove is used to carry the first data card; and the second limiting part is a second groove, and the second groove is used to carry the second data card or the third data card.

13 . The card connector according to claim 12 , further comprising a connection structure, wherein the limiting structure is inserted into or removed from the card connector base by using the connection structure.

14 . The card connector according to claim 13 , wherein:
the connection structure comprises a first clamping member, a second clamping member, and a connecting rod and a card push apparatus that are separately connected to two ends of the second clamping member; the first clamping member and the second clamping member are separately located on two sides of the card connector base that are parallel to an insertion and removal direction of the limiting structure; the first clamping member and the second clamping member each comprise a protrusion part, two opposite sides of the limiting structure each comprise a depressed part, and when the limiting structure is inserted into the card connector base, the protrusion parts enter the depressed parts, and the limiting structure is fastened on the card connector base; and the connecting rod is configured to:
control the card push apparatus, and
when the connecting rod is in a pressed state, control the card push apparatus to eject the limiting structure from the card connector base.

15 . The card connector according to claim 14 , wherein:
the first area and the second area are distributed in parallel on a surface of the card connector base relative to the insertion and removal direction of the limiting structure.

16 . The card connector according to claim 14 , wherein:
the first area and the second area are distributed one after another on a surface of the card connector base relative to the insertion and removal direction of the limiting structure.

17 . The card connector according to claim 12 , further comprising:
a cover disposed on the card connector base, the cover fixedly connects to two sides of the card connector base separately, and the cover and the card connector base form space for accommodating the limiting structure.

18 . The card connector according to claim 11 , wherein:
the first area is used to carry the first data card; the second area is used to carry the second data card or the third data card; the first limiting part is a first baffle plate, wherein two opposite ends of the first baffle plate fixedly connect to two opposite sides of the first area respectively, and a space as thick as the first data card is formed between the first baffle plate and the first area; and the second limiting part is a second baffle plate, wherein two opposite ends of the second baffle plate fixedly connect to two opposite sides of the second area respectively, and a space as thick as the third data card or the second data card is formed between the second baffle plate and the second area.

19 . A mobile terminal, comprising:
a card connector comprising,
a card connector base comprising a first area and a second area, wherein a first spring plate group is disposed in the first area, and a second spring plate group and a third spring plate group are separately disposed in different positions of the second area,
