Patent ID: 7377814

Claim:
A card connector comprising: an insulative body defining a first passageway and a second passageway above the first passageway for receiving two cards different in sizes; a plurality of contacts retained in the insulative body and provided with first and second engaging portions exposed in corresponding passageways for electrically connecting with corresponding cards; and a discriminating elastic device disposed in an entrance of the first passageway and having a resisting section protruding towards a center of the first passageway, the resisting section providing a slant extending upwardly towards the second passageway at a terminal thereof; wherein when a first card, which is not able to enter into the second passageway, is inserted into the first passageway, the resisting section will be pushed and distort elastically outwards to allow a further insertion of the first card in the first passageway; when a second card, which is essentially retained in the second passageway, is inserted into the first passageway, the resisting section will not be pushed and prevent the further insertion to the first passageway, and the slant will lead the insertion to the second passageway.
