ABSTRACT:
An apparatus detects a trailing end of a memory card in a memory card reader. The apparatus has a first driven switch element resiliently displaced by the memory card and a second driven switch element resiliently displaced by the first driven switch element. The first driven switch element includes a first resilient contact piece extending in a direction of insertion of the memory card. The second driven switch element includes a second resilient contact piece likewise extending in the direction of insertion of the memory card. The first and second resilient contact pieces are arranged such that they extend along a surface of the memory and face each other in a direction of the thickness of the memory card. After electrode pads arranged on the surface of the memory card inserted into a reader are brought into contact with corresponding contacts arranged in the reader, the first resilient contact piece is pressed by a front end edge portion of the memory card and resiliently displaced in the direction of the thickness of the memory card so as to contact the second resilient contact pieces. The second resilient piece is pressed by the first resilient piece and resiliently displaced in the direction of the thickness of the memory card so as to provide a wiping action on a pressure contacting portion.
