Claim:
A memory card connector for respectively receiving two memory cards, a rectangular memory card and a L-shape memory card, comprising: a metal cover defining a generally L-shaped receiving space for receiving two memory cards inserted into the receiving space in an insertion direction through an insert opening generally at a rear end of the metal cover; an insulative housing at a front end of the metal cover opposite to said insert opening; a plurality of contacts mounted in the insulative housing for connection to the memory cards; a metal bracket installed to the rear end of the metal cover and defining an opening opposite to the insulative housing in said insertion direction; and a foldable baffler mounted to the metal bracket, when the rectangular memory card is inserted into or pulled from the receiving space through said opening of the metal bracket, the rectangular memory card can be held by the foldable baffler for preventing deflection; wherein the metal bracket with a generally U-shape, has a traverse piece, and a pair of arm pieces forwardly extending from the traverse piece and engaged with metal cover, wherein the traverse piece is higher than the metal cover; wherein the traverse piece defines an aperture generally at a middle thereof, and an inner arm bent downwardly and within the aperture, wherein the foldable baffler is mounted to the bracket with one pivot pin thereof engaging with a pivot hole of the inner arm, and the other pivot pin thereof engaging with another pivot hole of one of the arm pieces of the metal bracket; wherein the metal bracket further has a cantilevered spring extending downwardly and forwardly from an inner edge of the traverse piece and with a tip end thereof located below an upper wall of the metal cover; and wherein the arm pieces of the metal bracket, and the inner arm are generally perpendicular to the traverse piece, and the inner arm extends downwardly a distance which is shorter than that of the other two arm pieces.
