ABSTRACT:
A memory card connector has an interior cavity for receiving a memory card. The connector includes an insulative housing having a rear terminal-mounting section at the rear of the cavity. A longitudinal side wall section extends forwardly from one end of the rear section at one side of the cavity. The housing has a bottom surface for mounting on a circuit board. A plurality of terminals are mounted on the rear terminal-mounting section of the housing and have contact portions for engaging appropriate contacts on the memory card. A pair of switch terminals are mounted on the side wall section of the housing. One switch terminal has an elastic contact arm which may be engageable by the memory card received in the cavity and movable into engagement with a contact arm of the other switch terminal. A body portion of at least one of the switch terminals is engaged in a retaining slot in the side wall section of the housing. A locking tab projects from the body portion against a locking shoulder on the side wall section in the slot to prevent the body portion from pulling out of the slot. A soldering tab projects from a bottom edge of the body portion for solder connection to the circuit board.
