ABSTRACT:
A memory card connector includes an insulative housing having a rear terminal-mounting section and at least one side wall section extending forwardly from one end of the rear section and defining a card-receiving space therebetween. First and second switch terminals are mounted on the housing and have first and second contact portions, respectively. A third switch terminal is mounted on the housing and has a pair of third contact portions engageable by the first and second contact portions of the first and second switch terminals, respectively, in response to inserting a memory card into the card-receiving space. The third switch terminal includes an elongated base having opposite ends, with at least the opposite ends of the base fixed to the housing. A pair of contact spring arms are cantilevered from the opposite ends of the base, whereby the opposite ends form a pair of fulcrums for flexing of the contact spring arms. Free ends of the arms form the third contact portions of the third switch terminal.
