  • Patent number: 7438600
    Abstract: A memory card connector includes an insulating housing defining conductive terminal grooves and a switch terminal groove. A metallic shell coupling with the insulating housing to form a card cavity therebetween has a top section and two side sections. The front of a top surface of one side section extends and inclines to the front of the top section to form an anti-mismating portion connecting with the front of the top section to form an inclined corner at the front of the metallic shell. One side section extends rearward to form a touching portion protruding toward the inner of the card cavity. Conductive terminals received in the conductive terminal grooves have a base portion, a soldering portion and a contacting portion. A switch terminal assembled in the switch terminal groove has a main body extending rearward to form a resilient arm received in the card cavity. The resilient arm defines a contacting projection facing the touching portion and a pressing portion facing the inner of the card cavity.

  • Patent number: 7396245
    Abstract: A memory connector includes an insulative housing, a plurality of terminals accommodated in the insulative housing, a cover engaged with the insulative housing and a switch mechanism secured in the insulative housing. The switch mechanism includes a first member and a second member. The first member keeps a proper distance to the second member. When a memory card is fully inserted into the memory card connector, the memory card passes over and pushes the first member to make electric connection to the second member. The connection between the first member and the second member generates a signal to judge whether the memory card is right inserted or not.
