Abstract

An electrical card connector includes an insulating housing (1) with a number of passageways (115), a number of conductive contacts (3) retained in the passageways. Each contact includes a planar retaining portion (31), a solder portion (35) and a resilient arm (37). The solder portion extends from one end of the retaining portion and the resilient arm bends inversely from the opposite end of the retaining portion. The contact further includes a pair of tabs (39) bent inversely from two side ends of the resilient arm and extends between the retaining portion and the resilient arm. The pair of tabs define therebetween a slot space (391) correspondingly to receive the solder portion.
