Abstract
A card connector includes a transverse base (20), a number of terminals (50) mounted in the transverse base, a longitudinal base (30), and a shell (10) shielding the bases and the terminals. Each terminal includes a planar mounting portion (503) molded in the transverse base, a contact portion (505) projecting into a card-receiving cavity (110) for being horizontally exerted on by a card (not shown) curing its insertion, and a tail portion (501) surface mounted to a printed circuit board (70). At least one of the terminals has a dip leg (504) projecting upwardly from the mounting portion and out of the transverse base for being secured to the printed circuit board (70).
