Abstract
An electronic card connector (100) includes an insulative housing (1), a number of terminals (2), and a shielding shell (6). Each terminal includes an elastic portion extending upwardly and a contacting portion (23). The elastic portion is resiliently deformable in an up-to-down direction. A first part of the elastic portion is located in a first plane, and a second part of the elastic portion is located in a second plane forming a sharp angle with the first plane. The second part has a connecting portion (25) and a pair of frame portions (26) connected with two free ends of the connecting portion. Each terminal defines a front point and a rear point respectively located on the elastic portion. The front point is located at the front of the contacting portion and the rear point is located at the rear of the contacting portion along a card-inserting direction.
