Abstract:
1. A memory card comprising: a controller; a memory; a first row of interconnection terminals disposed on a first surface of the memory card, the first surface including a first edge, a second edge and a third edge, the first edge being arranged opposite to the second edge, the third edge being substantially perpendicular to the first edge and to the second edge; and a second row of interconnection terminals disposed on the first surface, the second row of interconnection terminals including a first terminal and a second terminal; wherein at least one of the first row of interconnection terminals is configured to be electrically inoperable when the memory card is electrically operating with a first external device, wherein at least one of the second row of interconnection terminals is configured to be electrically inoperable when the memory card is electrically operating with a second external device, wherein the memory card is one-directionally operably insertible in a first insertion direction, the first insertion direction being such that the memory card is operably insertible with the first edge of the first surface being inserted first, wherein the first row of interconnection terminals includes a power terminal and a ground terminal, wherein the second row of interconnection terminals includes a power terminal and a ground terminal, wherein the third edge includes a recess, wherein no interconnection terminal is disposed in a first area defined in a first direction by the shortest distance between the recess and the first edge, and defined in a second direction by a distance between the third edge and an innermost edge of the recess, wherein no interconnection terminal is disposed in a second area defined in a third direction by the shortest distance between the recess and the second edge, and defined in a fourth direction by a distance between the third edge and the innermost edge of the recess, wherein no interconnection terminal is disposed between the first row of interconnection terminals and the first edge, and wherein no interconnection terminal is disposed between the second row of interconnection terminals and the second edge.
