Patent ID: 7416429

Claim:
A memory card connector, comprising: an insulating housing, having a front wall, a rear wall, two sidewalls, a bottom wall and a top wall, the insulating housing defining conductive terminal grooves and two locating grooves at a sidewall thereof; a shelter shell, coupling with the insulating housing to form a card cavity therebetween, the shelter shell having a top section and two side sections extending downward from both sides of the top section respectively, a front surface of the top section extending frontward and then extending downward to form two anti-mismating portions adjacent to the two side sections respectively, the two anti-mismating portions having different width and vertical length for mating with a memory card having a stepped side and inserted into the card cavity, one anti-mismating portion which is shorter placed on the stepped side and the other anti-mismating portion being against the other side opposite to the stepped side of the memory card for ensuring correct insertion of the memory card; conductive terminals, fixed in the conductive terminal grooves of the insulating housing and soldered to a printed circuit board respectively for electrically engaging with corresponding contacts of the memory card; and a pair of switch terminals, mounted in the locating grooves of the insulating housing respectively and soldered to the printed circuit board, one switch terminal pressed outward by the memory card fully inserted into the card cavity, which causes the two switch terminals to contact with each other for grounding.
