With the protruding member installed at a lateral side inside an insulating body of the electronic card connector, the latch arm of the sliding portion will not be bent and the electronic card can be latched when an electronic card pushes the sliding portion into the electronic card connector. The invention can achieve the purposes of a high durability, a simple structure and a low manufacturing cost for the electronic card connector, since it is not necessary to bend the latch arm of the sliding portion to latch the electronic card when pushing the electronic card into the electronic card connector.

Electronic card connector

The present invention is a socket of card reader (I) for memory card with connecting terminals following specification of USB, which is a socket of card reader utilizing 4 pin USB (Universal Serial Bus) architecture for reading flash memory card with USB-compatible specification. The said socket of card reader is composed of a housing, a base, and 4 connecting terminals. Therefore, in comparison to the existing card reader that contains numerous connecting terminals, the present invention is apt to be implanted into related informational products. Besides, as the circuit architecture of USB connecting port is directly applied, the cost of developing new connecting architecture is thus saved.
