ABSTRACT:
A card connector comprises a base, a cover, anti-disorientation means, and a plurality of conductive contacts. The anti-disorientation means is formed to have a concave bottom edge and tapered side edges, wherein the inner side edge is shorter then the outer side edge. A card defining a notch in a front corner thereof is inserted into the card connector. When the card is properly inserted into the connector, the configuration of the notch and the bottom edge of the anti-disorientation means will allow the card to bypass the anti-disorientation means. When the card is improperly inserted into the connector, a corner of the card will abut against the anti-disorientation means thereby prohibiting the card from being further inserted into the connector.
