ABSTRACT:
A case is provided for receiving an electronic card (C), which includes a one-piece molded housing (10) that forms a pair of slideways (12, 14) that guide opposite side portions of the card and that includes upper and lower crosspieces (46, 20) that connect the slideways and that are vertically spaced. A separate electrical connector (60) is provided which includes a connector frame (61) and a plurality of electrical contacts (77) mounted on the frame, with each contact having an upwardly-projecting contact blade (63). The connector is mounted on the lower crosspiece of the housing, with the contact blades projecting through card-receiving slots (64) of the housing. The card receiver can have a butterfly shape, with each crosspiece having a middle section (36) of small length, and each crosspiece can be formed with large apertures (24, 28A, 28B), which reduce weight and cost. The upper crosspiece has a brake tab extending at a forward-downward incline, with a forward end lying near the front end of the card-receiving slot to provide tactile feedback indicating when the card is closely approaching full insertion.
