Abstract
An electrical card connector includes an insulative housing (1), a number of contacts (3) assembled in the insulative housing, a pair of metal pads (5) assembled to the side walls of the insulative housing, and a metallic shell (2). The insulative housing has a base portion (10) and a pair of side walls (11) extending from the base portion. Each metal pad has a cavity (501) and an elastic tongue portion (53) extending into the cavity. The metallic shell forms a pair of pivots (220) extending through and movable in the cavity. The elastic tongue portion is resiliently engageable with the pivot in response to a movement of the pivot along an inner edge of the cavity.
