Abstract
A card connector assembly (100) for insertion of an electronic card (5), includes an insulative housing (1) defining therein a slot (11) and a number of passageways (131) communicating with the slot, and a number of terminals (2) retained in the passageways. Each terminal includes a contact portion (21) exposed in the slot for contacting with the electronic card, and a deformable resilient beam (22) having a depressible portion (221) away from the contact portion. The depressible portions are outwardly depressed due to an insertion of the electronic card, and are inwardly relaxed due to an extraction of the electronic card.
