Abstract
A connector is provided for memory card including an insertion module of an overall right-angle parallelepipedal shape. The insertion module includes an insertion slot for inserting a memory card. The connector furthermore includes several static electricity discharge zones coming into contact with a portion of a surface of a memory card upon the insertion of the memory card into the memory card connector. Each of the static electricity discharge zones is made at least in part of a conducting plastic material having a different surface resistance value, so that the discharge of the card is effected progressively in several phases.
