ABSTRACT:
A card reader connector (10) includes a base (12) having a plurality of contacts (70) therein and a cover (40) dimensioned to receive a card (80), the base (12) and cover (40) being securable together to effect reading of the card (80). Each base side wall (28) includes at least a pair of flanges (30), each defining a clamping surface (33). The cover (40) includes card support rail portions (62) and at least a pair of spaced apart connector clamps (64) adapted to engage a clamping surface (33) of a respective flange (30). Upon full assembly, the cover clamps (64) and the base flanges (30) bias the cover (40) and base (12) together and secure the cover (40) and base (12) from relative lateral movement and from movement directly apart for the contacts (70) of the base (12) to assuredly remain compressively engaged with corresponding contact pads of the card (80).
