Connector for memory card

摘要

In a connector used for connecting a memory card to an apparatus which processes the data memorized in the memory card, a cover shell and a base shell which configure a box-shaped housing are respectively formed by a metal thin plate for increasing the mechanical strength of the hosing and easily for grounding the housing so that the connector can be tough with respect to the static electricity and the external noise. Contacts which are to be contacted with contacts of a memory card are integrally held on a contact base formed by insert molding so that contacting portions of and soldering terminals of the contacts can be aligned parallel to and on the same level as each other. A slider moving forward and backward in the housing corresponding to the insertion and drawing of the memory card are pressed by pressing forces of a pair of coil springs so that the movement of the slider can be made smooth.
