Switch for an electrical card connector

摘要

An electrical card connector (1) includes an insulative housing (2), a plurality of electrical terminal (3) received in the housing, an end position switch (4) and a protection-detecting switch (5). The protection-detecting switch is used for detecting if an inserting electrical card is in a write-protect state and is insert molded in the housing. The protection-detecting switch includes an actuating contact (51) and a fixed contact (52). The actuating contact comprises a cantilever (514). The fixed contact comprises a fixing panel (521) and a resilient contact portion (522). The cantilever is downwardly moveable by the electrical card to engagingly push outwardly the resilient contact portion of the fixed contact.
