Abstract
An engagement structure of a card connector includes a housing and at least one contact partially received in the housing and partially exposed to an exterior thereof through a hole defined in the housing. Each contact includes a strip having a curved contacting portion extending from one end thereof, and a first wing portion extending laterally from two elongate sides of the strip and having slant tabs projecting upward therefrom. The housing includes a base having at least two elongate protrusions extending in parallel from an innersurface thereof thus defining a passageway therebetween for receiving the strip of the contact. A pair of notches are defined in opposite intermediate sides of each protrusion in communication with the adjacent passageway. A pair of tunnels are each defined from one end of each protrusion along a lengthwise direction thereof and through the notch thus defining a first block and a second block beside the notch and above the tunnel.
