A memory card socket structure includes a base shell and a cover shell adapted to face a top and a bottom surface of a memory card, a contact block disposed in a rear side of a card compartment formed by the base shell and the cover shell, and a plurality of contact terminals fixed at the contact block and extended from the contact block toward an opening side of the card compartment to be in contact with terminals of the memory card. The plurality of contact terminals have at least one shorter terminal and at least one longer terminal, the support position at which said at least one longer terminal is supported by the base shell being closer to the opening side of the card compartment than the support position at which said at least one shorter terminal is supported by the contact block.
