Patent ID: 7011533

Claim:
A card connector, comprising: an insulating housing; at least one signal terminal provided in said insulating housing; at least one ground terminal provided in said insulating housing; a metal cover for covering said insulating housing to form a card housing space for receiving a flat card having at least one signal contact section and at least one ground contact section on at least one surface thereof such that when said flat card is inserted into said card housing space, said signal and ground contact sections are brought into contact with said signal and ground terminals; said ground terminal having a flexible section disposed in a vertically upper region of said ground contact section when said flat card is in said card housing space; said metal cover having a ground tongue overlapping said flexible section in said vertically upper region so that when said flat card is inserted into said card housing space, said ground contact section of said flat card comes into contact with and flexes said flexible section of said ground terminal, thus increasing a contact pressure between said flexible section of said ground terminal and said ground tongue of said metal cover.
