The present invention is an integrated memory card reader. It relates to a card reader with connecting terminals arranged in layered style to accommodate the insertion of distinct specification memory cards. By way of integrating chip, connecting terminals, and layout of printed circuit on the base board, multiple complex connecting terminals are integrated in one to support an unified connecting specification, and through modularizing the memory connector as well as the integrated circuit base board, the card reader is downsized to facilitate being embedded into the main unit of an electrical appliance.

All-in-one integrated memory card reader

An all-in-one memory card reader includes a socket into which can be inserted memory cards having more than one distinct specification. A pivot base and a blocking slide are provided at the contact tips of connecting terminals welded on the base board, such that the contact tips of layered connecting terminals are able to be pressed down. Consequently, when a distinct specification memory card is inserted, the contact tips are pressed down to prevent the mis-touch and wear-out of the memory cards' terminals.
