Abstract
A T-shaped groove is cut out from a section of a guide wall of a memory card connector. The groove also defines an interior T-shaped portion. The bar portion of the interior T-shaped portion is bent back 180 degrees so that it extends over the groove from which it was cut out. The bar portion of the interior T-shaped portion makes contact with the edges of the groove preventing the interior T-shaped portion from moving through the groove. The interior T-shaped portion also has an arcuate portion that resiliently holds a memory card in place. The memory card connector also includes a connection part and at least one other guide wall arraigned to from a U-shaped slot for holding a memory card.
