Abstract:
1. An electrical memory card connector comprising: an insulaltive housing receiving a plurality of terminals; a cover pivotally mounted on the insulative housing and moveable between an open position and a closed position, the cover comprising a base portion and a pair of lateral portions extending from opposite sides of the base portion, the insualtive housing and the cover together defining a receiving space; and two detecting mechanisms, one of the detecting mechanisms being located under one lateral portion of the cover, and the other one of the detecting mechanisms being located at the inside of the receiving space; the two detecting mechanism being located in a middle area of the base along a front-to-back direction; the insualtive housing forms a first receiving piece and a second receiving piece, respectively, extending from lateral sides thereof into depressing portions for receiving the detecting mechanisms; the second receiving piece projects further than the first receiving piece, and each receiving piece defines a L-shape first slit and a second slit; the first slit comprises a vertical slit and horizontal slit communicating with the vertical slit the horizontal slit defines a pair of retaining slits; the second slit which is parallel with the horizontal slit of the first slit, comprises a pair of retaining slit; a gap is defined between the insualtive housing and the second slit; the two detecting mechanisms comprising a first pin and a second pin, the first pin comprises a tail part, a beam extending from the tail part, a curved resilient part perpendicularly extending from the beam, a contacting part extending from a front end of the resilient part and a pair of retention part formed at the opposite sides of the beam; and the second pin comprises a soldering part, a girder extending from the soldering part, a meeting part extending perpendicularly from the girder and a pair of retention part formed at opposite sides of the girder; the beam is located in the horizontal slit, the retention pans are retained in the retaining slits and the contacting part is partially received in the vertical slit; the girder is received in the second slit and the retention parts are retained in the retaining slits; the contacting part of the first pin and the meeting part of the second pin are overlapped with each other above the gap.
