Abstract
A memory card connector system includes a connector having a rear terminal-mounting section mounting a plurality of terminals for engaging appropriate contacts on a memory card. The rear section defines at least part of a receptacle for receiving a mating end of the memory card. A pair of shaped side wall sections extend forwardly from opposite ends of the rear section for guiding the memory card into the receptacle. Each side wall section includes a card stabilizing notch. A memory card has a mating end insertable into the receptacle and a stabilizing protrusion engageable in each of the card stabilizing notches to prevent the card from shifting relative to the connector.
