A memory card adapter () for receiving a memory card () includes an upper cover (), a lower cover () engaging with the upper cover and defining a receiving space () therebetween, a contact module () and a conductive member (). The contact module () includes a number of contacts (), an insulative beam () over-molding the contacts and an insulative locking arm () integrally extending from the beam. The locking arm has a hook () extending into the receiving space () for mating with the memory card. The conductive member () has multiple conductive pads () electrically connecting with the contacts ().

Memory card adapter with improved locking mechanism for mating with a mini memory card

A memory card adapter () comprises an upper cover (), an insulating lower cover (), a conductive member () and a conductive terminals module () fixed on the insulating lower cover. The upper cover comprises a resin cover () and a metal cover (). The lower insulating cover engages with the metal cover with a mini memory card receiving space () formed therebetween. The conductive terminals module comprises a plurality of conductive terminals () electrically connecting with the conductive member and a resin beam () to retain the conductive terminals therein. The mini memory card () is accommodated in the mini memory card receiving space and electrically connecting with the conductive terminals. Due to the arrangement of the conductive terminals module with the conductive member and the insulating lower cover, the whole assembly of the adaptor is highly simplified and the conduction efficiency is increased.
