ABSTRACT:
A smart card connector comprises an insulative housing, a number of signal terminals, a pair of switching terminals and a metal shell covering an upper surface of the housing thereby defining a space therebetween for receiving an inserted smart card. The housing defines a number of terminal receiving slots for receiving the corresponding signal terminals. The metal shell comprises a planar portion and a pair of side walls. A pair of spring arms and a number of hooks are stamped in the side walls of the metal shell. The hooks are adapted to secure the metal shell to the housing. The spring arms of the metal shell are adapted to inwardly press against the inserted smart card thereby preventing transverse movement of the smart card. The metal shell defines a pair of holes for exposing the terminals thereby preventing the terminals from touching the metal shell.
