Abstract: A memory card connector (50) is disclosed having an upper card receiving cavity (164) and a lower card receiving cavity (170). Upper and lower pin headers (56, 60) are attached to upper and lower ejectors (110, 112) to form the two cavities (164, 170). Each cavity is defined by right and left side walls (118, 120, 158, 160) interconnected by a lateral member (122, 162) extending along a major side (168, 174) of the cavity. The upper cavity (164) has one major side (166), opposite the lateral member (122), that is open so that a Type III memory card (200), when inserted into the cavity in mated engagement with the connector, can project through the open major side (166).
