Abstract
The connector of the present invention includes a base having a plurality of terminals for contacting the card and a cover for holding the card. In an embodiment, the base has two resilient plates extending from the base, each of the plates has a distal end at which an inner hinging portion is formed. The cover has an outer hinging portion engaged with the inner hinging portions to form a hinge such that the cover is pivotally mounted on the base and movable in relation to the base. Each of the resilient plates is L-shaped such that the hinge is deflectable from the base.
