Abstract
The present invention is a structure for socket of multi-card reader, which is a socket of card reader that supports the insertion of memory cards with distinct specifications. The said socket of card reader is composed of a socket body, an upper cover, one or more than one read-protection device, and multiple connecting terminals. To meet the need for adapting to multiple cards, a read-protection device is installed inside the socket body. The said read-protection device permits or forbids the action of free rotating and thereby differentiates the feasibility for reading according to the respective thicknesses of memory cards with distinct specifications.
