Abstract
The present invention is a socket of card reader (I) for memory card with connecting terminals following specification of USB, which is a socket of card reader utilizing 4 pin USB (Universal Serial Bus) architecture for reading flash memory card with USB-compatible specification. The said socket of card reader is composed of a housing, a base, and 4 connecting terminals. Therefore, in comparison to the existing card reader that contains numerous connecting terminals, the present invention is apt to be implanted into related informational products. Besides, as the circuit architecture of USB connecting port is directly applied, the cost of developing new connecting architecture is thus saved.
