  • Publication number: 20060014435
    Abstract: A card connector, especially an electronic card connector, is composed of an insulative body, a multiple number of conductive terminals, a bump and an auxiliary bump. The insulative body consists of a base with card slot and elastic arms sticking out at both sides of the base. A multiple number of conductive terminals are located on the card slot. The bump is formed on the inner side of the terminal of the elastic arm. The auxiliary bump is also formed on the inner side and located at the back of the bump. The present invention can effectively enhance card insertion stability and prevent the card from getting loosened. Besides, the present invention also facilitates the positioning of the electronic card while it is inserted into the slot.
