Abstract
An apparatus and method of removably interconnecting a reduced-sized memory card with an extension member. The locking mechanism may be formed in a peripheral end portion of the reduced-sized memory card that may include an entry surface and a ledge. The extension member may include a biasing portion that slidably engages the entry surface and removable interconnects with the ledge. With this arrangement, the extension member may easily be secured and removed from the reduced-sized memory card, allowing easy interchangeability between a standard-sized socket of one electronic device and a reduced-sized socket of another electronic device.
