Patent ID: 7661988

Claim:
A card connector adapted for accommodating a memory card, comprising: a dielectric housing defining a plurality of terminal grooves therein; a plurality of terminals received in the corresponding terminal grooves of the dielectric housing; and a shell shielding the dielectric housing, the shell having a top board and two sideboards extending downward from two opposite sides of the top board, the junction of the top board and at least one of the two sideboards being depressed inward to form a connecting board of substantially L-shaped cross-section, wherein the top board, the two sideboards and the connecting board of the shell and the dielectric housing define a space therebetween for receiving the memory card therein, each of the terminal grooves including a main groove, two opposite inner surfaces of the main groove respectively protrude inward to form a first protrusion, a first slot is formed in the first protrusion, each of the terminals includes a basic board, two sides of one end of the basic board extend forward to form two first projections, the first projections are respectively fixed in the first slots.
