<p>A memory card connector assembly (30) includes a switch for detecting insertion of a memory card (C) into the connector. A connector housing receives the memory card for movement from a preload position to an inserted position. The switch is attached to the housing and includes a switch member movable between an open position and a closed position. The switch also includes a fixed switch contact (76) and a movable switch contact (78) operatively associated with the switch member for movement into engagement with the fixed switch contact in response to movement of the switch member from its open position to its closed position. A cover (80) encloses the switch contacts and at least a portion of the switch member, with the switch member having an actuating portion projecting through an opening in the cover and into the path of movement of the memory card. As the card moves from its preload position to its inserted position, the card engages the switch member to move the switch member from its open position to its closed position, engaging the switch contacts, and thereby detect insertion of the memory card into the connector.</p> |
