Abstract
An electronic card connector consists of an upper housing member and a lower housing member fixedly connected together. A number of contacts are fixed to the lower housing member. Each contact has a contact portion for electrically engaging with a card inserted into the connector and a tail portion for being soldered to a printed circuit board on which the connector is mounted. The upper housing member forms a number of cantilevered arms with enlarged free ends biasing the card inserted into the connector toward the contact portions of the contacts to ensure a positive engagement between the card and the contacts.
