Abstract
An electrical connector for engaging with an electronic card has a insulative housing with a plurality of receiving spaces, a plurality of terminals respectively mounted in the receiving spaces of the insulative housing, and an operating member pivotally connected to the insulative housing. The operating member controls the terminals in the insulative housing to be moved for electrically and mechanically engagement with the electronic card. Each of the terminals has a base portion, an upper arm and a lower arm. The upper arm is connected to the base portion at a joint as a first fulcrum. The lower arm is connected to the base portion at another joint as a second fulcrum. As the operating member pivotally moves to a predetermined position, the upper arm and the lower arm respectively rotate about the first fulcrum and the second fulcrum to securely grasp the electronic card.
