Patent ID: 8556662

Claim:
A card connector adapted for receiving an electronic card, comprising: an insulating housing having a front side thereof recessed rearward to form a card recess for receiving the electronic card therein, the insulating housing defining a plurality of first terminal fillisters and a plurality of second terminal fillisters communicating with the card recess; a plurality of first electrical terminals each having a base strip extending along a front-to-rear direction, a first fixing arm extending upward from a rear end of the base strip, a first elastic arm extending forward from a lower portion of the first fixing arm and inclined upward in the process of extending forward with a distal end thereof bending downward, a second elastic arm slantwise extending forward and upward from a substantial middle of the base strip with a distal end thereof apart located under that of the first elastic arm, a contact portion protruding upward from a front end of the base strip and apart located under the distal end of the second elastic arm, and a soldering arm protruding downward from a front of the base strip, wherein the base strip and an upper portion of the first fixing arm are held in the first terminal fillister, the first elastic arm, the second elastic arm and the contact portion are accommodated in the first terminal fillister with the distal end of the first elastic arm elastically stretching upward into the card recess, the soldering arms project outside the insulating housing; and a plurality of second electrical terminals disposed in the second terminal fillisters of the insulating housing respectively, each of the second electrical terminals having a third elastic arm of which a distal end projects downward into the card recess to resist against the electronic card, wherein the electronic card inserted in the card recess presses the distal end of the first elastic arm of the first electrical terminal downward to resist against the distal end of the second elastic arm, so as to drive the distal end of the second elastic arm to contact with the contact portion.
