ABSTRACT:
A grounding strip for a memory card connector is disclosed to provide the electrical grounding of the memory card inserted. The memory card connector comprises a guide frame having a pair of guiding slots. Each of the guiding slots has formed therein a pair of notches and a receiving slot. The grounding strip comprises a substantially elongated body. A curved contact portion is formed approximate one end of the elongated body that arises generally above the surface of the elongated body. An end portion is formed at the remote end beyond the contact portion of the elongated body. A first pair of bent portions are respectively located at the opposing sides of the elongated body and extending away from the surface of the elongated body, and each of the first bent portions has formed thereon a latching means. When the grounding strip is assembled to the designated location on the guide frame of the memory card connector, the end portion would be received in the receiving slot of the guiding slot. Each of the first pair of bent portions would be inserted into a corresponding one of the first pair of notches, and the latching means of the first pair of bent portions would latch with the corresponding configuration inside the corresponding notch. Firm attachment of the grounding strip to the guide frame of the memory card connector can therefore be secured.
