An electrical card connector includes an insulative housing defining a card receiving space, a plurality of contacts for mating with a first card and a second card wider than the first card, and a spring tab at one side of the card receiving space. The spring tab includes a retaining portion fixed to the insulative housing and a body portion extending from the retaining portion. The body portion includes a bend portion extending from a lateral side of the body portion under a condition that the first card is sidewardly restricted by the bend portion with insertion of the first card into the card receiving space, and body portion is deformable to let the second card overstepping the body portion with insertion of the second card into the card receiving space.

Electrical card connector with improved spring tab

An electrical card connector includes an insulative housing defining a card receiving space and a plurality of contacts for mating with a first card and a second card wider than the first card. A card restriction member is fixed to the insulative housing and includes a deformable main body upwardly extending into the card receiving space. The main body includes a pair of raised portions protruding upwardly beyond a guiding surface thereof with a depression formed between said pair of raised portions. With insertion of the first and the second cards into the card receiving space, the first card is received in the depression and restricted by the raised portions, and the second card is restricted by the side walls of the insulative housing for stable guiding insertion.

Electrical card connector with improved card restriction structure

An electrical card connector () to be mounted on a printed circuit board and includes: an insulative housing () having a first receiving cavity () for receiving a first card () and a second receiving cavity () for receiving a second card (), and a number of passageways (), and a number of contacts retained in the passageways respectively. The contacts include a number of first contacts () each having a first contacting portion () for contacting with the first card, a first soldering portion () to be soldered onto the printed circuit board and a first base portion () connecting with the first contacting portion and the first soldering portion; a plurality of second contacts () spaced from the first contacts, and defining a second base portion () and a second contacting portion () extending forwardly from the second base portion to contact with the second card. The second contacting portion () is deflected to contact with the corresponding first contact upon an abutting engagement between the second contacts and the second card.
