MEMORY CARD CONNECTOR

摘要

A memory card connector (32) includes a metal housing (40) having a generally planar top wall (40a) and a pair of side walls (40b) defining a receiving space (48) therebetween for receiving a memory card (36) inserted into the receiving space through an insert opening (54) at a front end of the housing. An insulating socket (38) is located at a rear end (52) of the metal housing opposite the insertion opening. A plurality of conductive terminals (44) are mounted in the insulating socket for electrical connection to the memory card. The front end of the metal housing is wider than the rear end thereof whereby the receiving space is generally L-shaped in a plane generally parallel to the top wall of the metal housing. A card eject mechanism (42) is located behind the wider front end of the metal housing alongside the narrower rear end thereof.
