Abstract:
1. A memory card connector comprising an electrically insulative housing, said electrically insulative housing comprising a base, two side arms arranged in parallel at two opposite lateral sides of said base and a receiving space defined between said side arms above said base for receiving different memory cards, said receiving space having a front open side and a rear close side, and a plurality of terminals mounted in said base inside said receiving space of said electrically insulative housing for the contact of the electric contacts of different memory cards selectively, wherein a first sliding member and a second sliding member are arranged inside said receiving space and slidable in direction between the front open side and rear close side of said receiving space for guiding different types of memory cards into contact with said terminals selectively, said first sliding member being disposed above and behind said second sliding member such that when a first type of memory card is inserted into said receiving space, the inserted first type of memory card pushes said second sliding member and then said first sliding member backwards and is then set into contact with respective terminals in said receiving space, wherein at least one third sliding member mounted inside said receiving space at different elevations is disposed below said second sliding member and directly movable by a respective type of memory card; when a second type of memory card is inserted into said receiving space, the inserted second type of memory card passes over said second sliding member to directly push said first sliding member backwards and is then set into contact with respective terminals in said receiving space.
