The body (20) has a slot (21) for insertion of a memory card, and a set of reception housings (23) for receiving anchoring pins (22) for anchoring the body on a printed circuit board (PCB). The anchoring pins are made of metal and welded to the PCB to fix the body. The reception housings are positioned on the body near the slit and comprise a fixing unit i.e. notch, for fixing the anchoring pins in the reception housings. The anchoring pins exhibit a T-shaped or H-shaped volume shape with a bent edge. The bent edge is directed towards an outer side of the body. An independent claim is also included for an anchoring pin for insertion into reception housings of a body.
