A memory card connector is provided for mounting on a printed circuit board. The connector includes an insulating housing having a rear terminal-mounting section and at least one longitudinal side wall section extending forwardly from one end of the rear section and combining therewith to define a card-receiving space for receiving a memory card in an insertion direction. The side wall section includes (a) an inside longitudinal groove for receiving a side edge of the memory card, (b) a plurality of insertion slots and (c) an opening. A plurality of conductive terminals are mounted on the rear terminal-mounting section of the housing. The terminals have contact portions projecting into the card-receiving space for engaging appropriate contacts on the memory card. A grounding terminal is mounted on the side wall section of the housing and includes (a) a body portion positioned in the inside groove, (b) a plurality of fixing tabs extending from the body portion and secured in the insertion slots, (c) an elastic contact arm extending from the body portion and aligned with the opening for engaging a ground portion at the edge of the memory card, and (d) a grounding portion extending from the body portion for connection to an appropriate grounding trace on the printed circuit board.
