Abstract

An electrical connector (100) for an electrical card includes an insulating housing (20) defining a receiving slot (220) for mating and a number of electrical contacts (60). Each of the electrical contacts has a securing portion for securing the contact in the housing, a contacting portion (66) extending into the receiving slot and a flexible connecting portion (64) connecting the securing portion and the contacting portion. The insulating housing forms a stop portion (226) flexibly biased by said connecting portion when said electrical card is not mated therein.
