Abstract
A connector for electronic elements with recessed contacts, such as flash memory cards, is disclosed. The connector enables substantially linear insertion of the card through a wall of an electronic component utilizing the card. A floating guide member receives the card and permits clearance movement toward and away from the connector contact terminals. A simplified form of compression connector is disclosed. It employs multiple point engagement of the terminal with the side walls of the terminal receiving passage to hold the contact terminals in the housing prior to installation.
