  • Patent number: 7448886
    Abstract: A card connector (100) comprises an insulating housing (10), first and second sets of contacts (22, 24) received in the insulating housing (10), a protection door (40) and a resilient member (304). The insulating housing (10) defines a receiving space (18) with a first entrance opening (19). The protection door (40) moveably covers the first entrance opening (19) for receiving a first card and the protection door (40) defines a second entrance opening (46) smaller than the first entrance opening (19) therein for receiving a second card. The resilient member (304) cooperates with the protection door (40) to urge the protection door (40) to be in a closed position to cover the first entrance opening.
