ABSTRACT:
A stackable memory card connector assembly (20) for use with multiple memory cards (15, 15') includes a first memory card connector (22) which comprises a side guide arm (32), a second side guide arm (32a) and a housing (24) interconnecting the first and second side guide arms (32, 32a). Further, a top guide (34) extends between the respective first and second side guide arms (32, 32a). The housing (24) defines a plurality of passageways (30, 31) in which a plurality of conductive members (54, 55) are dimensioned to be positioned therethrough. Moreover, respective first and second bottom alignment mechanisms are (56, 56a) disposed on a bottom surface of the respective first and second side guide arms (32, 32a). Similarly, first and second top alignment mechanisms (57, 57a) are disposed on a top surface of the respective first and second side guide arms (32, 32a) opposite the respective first and second bottom alignment mechanisms (56, 56a). Thus, when a second similarly dimensioned memory card connector (22') is stacked above the first memory card connector (22) in an aligned stackable fashion, the respective first and second bottom alignment mechanisms (56', 56a') of the second connector (22') engages with the respective first and second top alignment mechanisms (57, 57a) of the first memory card connector (22). Accordingly, the space occupied by the stacked memory card connector assembly (20) is reduced by providing a single common wall (34) between the stacked connectors (22, 22'), thereby reducing the overall height.
