Abstract
An electronic card connector includes an insulative housing, a number of contacts and a first switch terminal retained on the insulative housing. The insulative housing has a receiving space, a receiving slot communicating with the receiving space along an up to down direction and a limiting block at a front side of the receiving slot. The first switch terminal has a fastening portion retained on the insulative housing, a connecting portion forwardly extending to the receiving slot, a limiting portion forwardly extending to a lower side of the limiting block and a tail portion. The switch terminal further has a guiding portion extending sidewardly. The insulative housing has a pre-pressing surface at one side of the receiving slot to pre-press the guiding portion and prevent the switch terminal from bouncing upwardly to resist a front side of the limiting block in an assembly process of the switch terminal.
