  • Patent number: 6994574
    Abstract: A terminal-selective card connector includes a housing, a slide plate, a spring, a slide hood, and an injecting/ejecting device. At least two groups of terminals are mounted inside the housing. The slide plate is longitudinally slidably mounted at an internal lower side of the housing, having a plurality of elongated slots and a first action point located at a rear end thereof. The second group of terminals runs through bottom sides and then top sides of the elongated slots. The spring is mounted inside the housing for keeping forward movement of the slide plate. The slide hood has a second action point and a stopping portion for contacting against an inserted predetermined card. The injecting/ejecting device is mounted inside the housing for working on the slide hood. Thus, selectivity of the terminals is effected to enable different actions while different cards are inserted.
