Claim:
A SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card connector of substantially rectangular, comprising: an insulative base 1 on an either side thereof including an L-shaped groove 111 on a rear corner, a recess 12 extended from an intermediate portion to a front end and having a rear shoulder 121 , an intermediate protrusion 13 , a tab 122 between the rear shoulder 121 and the protrusion 13 , and a front protuberance 122 , and a stop member 14 extended from a rear end of the protuberance 122 and disposed perpendicular to the protuberance 122 ; a cover 2 including two side flanges 23 each including a pin 21 on a rear corner slidably fitted in and confined by the groove 111 to form a pivot, a rear and a front openings 24 , a rear and a front flexible fastening members 25 each being parallel with the adjacent opening 24 , and an intermediate tongue 22 ; and a plurality of parallel conductors 3 on a bottom of the base 1 ; whereby pivoting the cover 2 about the pins 21 to cover the base 1 will cause either rear fastening member 25 to urge against a portion of the recess 12 between the rear shoulder 121 and the protuberance 122 , either tongue 22 to fit between the tab 122 and the protrusion 13 , and either front fastening member 25 to urge against a portion of the recess 12 between the protrusion 13 and both the stop member 14 and protuberance 122 ; and whereby sliding the cover 2 forward will interlock the cover 2 and the base 1 by moving either pin 21 forward from a bending point of the groove 111 until being stopped by a forward end of the groove 111 with either rear fastening member 25 being urged against the protuberance 122 , either tongue 22 being stopped by the protrusion 13 , and either front fastening member 25 being securely engaged with both the stop member 14 and protuberance 122 after passing the stop member 14 .
