ABSTRACT:
A socket having thirteen contact springs arranged in a manner that supports existing MMC and SD form factors, and also supports a combination SD/MMC flash memory card. The combination memory card includes a PCB assembly that is consistent with existing 13-pad MMC mechanical form factors, and a housing that is consistent with the SD mechanical form factor, thereby providing a single PCBA and housing arrangement that can be used to produce both MMC and SD memory cards. The thirteen contact pads support all MMC and SD contact pad patterns, but are modified to facilitate a write protect switch. The contacts springs of the socket are arranged to make contact with the modified pad pattern, but to also be backward compatible with existing SD and MMC form factors. A system including the socket and combination SD/MMC flash memory card is also disclosed.
