Patent ID: 7955135

Claim:
A card connector, comprising: an insulative housing having a base, a plurality of passageways symmetrically defined on the base receiving a plurality of contacts; the passageways extending along a widthwise direction of the base; a plurality of retention slots defined on two lengthwise sides of each passageway and through the base from top to bottom; a plurality of contacts received in the passageways of the base, each contact having a planar section with a soldering section defined thereon; a beam section bending and extending from a side of the planar section which is opposite to the soldering section; the beam section having an arc contact section defining above the passageway on a free end thereof; the planar section having a number of retention pieces received in the retention slots correspondingly, the retention pieces defined perpendicular to an extending direction of the soldering section; and a shield shell having a top section, the top section defining a pair of side faces on two opposite sides; wherein a tab is defined on the free end of each contact section, the tab bends and extends parallel to the planar section of each contact; wherein a pair of slide ways with a wedge surface is defined on two sides of the insulative housing; wherein the slide ways are linked with a side surface of the insulative housing; wherein a receiving slot is defined on the end of the slide way; wherein a pair of slide sections with a resilient section on each slide section is defined on two opposite sides of the shield shell corresponding to the slide ways.
