Connector for receiving/protecting electronic card

摘要

A connector includes a housing having a card receiving space for selectively receiving one of two or more different electronic cards. A pivotal rod is mounted in the housing and normally spaced from a plurality of first terminals mounted in the card receiving space. When an electronic card of a first type is inserted into the card receiving space, it passes below the pivotal rod to a position in electrical contact with first terminals. When an electronic card of a second type is inserted into the card receiving space, it presses and pivots the pivotal rod to press the first terminals downward, allowing the second electronic card to move further inward for electrical contact with second terminals behind the first terminals while preventing electrical connection between the first terminals and the electronic card of second type.
