  • Patent number: 7997935
    Abstract: A card connector composed of a base frame, at least one terminal set, and a detective terminal. While a card enters a card space inside of the base frame, it works on and forces a working portion of a working springy piece of the detective terminal toward a passive springy piece of the detective terminal for electric conduction with the same. When the working springy piece is moved to contact the passive springy piece, a scraping portion of the working springy piece contacts and scraps a contact portion of the passive springy piece to force the passive springy piece to deform; meanwhile, the resilience generated by the deformation of the passive springy piece keeps it in contact with the working springy piece. In this way, during the contact, the oxide or stain can be scraped off f to make the contact more perfect to secure the detective accuracy.
