Patent attributes
A memory card connector mountable onto a printed circuit board for receiving at least one kind of memory card includes an insulating housing and a shielding shell covering the insulating housing to define a receiving chamber therebetween. The shielding shell has a contacting end at a side thereof. A detecting terminal is received in a side of the insulating housing, the detecting terminal has a soldering portion adapted for electrically connecting to the printed circuit board, a resilient conductive portion adjacent to the contacting end of the shielding shell, and a resilient contact portion extending towards the receiving chamber and capable of moving outwards resiliently to push the resilient conductive portion to electrically contact the contacting end of the shielding shell.
