Secured memory card connector
View Patent ↗A memory card connector including at least one pin for reading a memory card, at least one parallelepiped-shaped base in which the at least one pin is positioned, and an enclosure extending over the rear of the base and forming a continuous barrier between at least two sides of the base.
1. A memory card connector comprising:
at least one pin for reading a memory card;
a connector comprising a parallelepiped-shaped base within which said at least one pin is positioned; and
an enclosure extending rearwards from said base and forming a continuous barrier between first and second sides of said base, said enclosure defining a protection area that comprises at least one contact termination of said at least one pin.
2. The memory card connector according to claim 1 , wherein said enclosure is a metal part adjoined to said base.
3. The memory card connector according to claim 1 , wherein said protection area is shaped to enable positioning of at least one electronic component.
4. The memory card connector according to claim 2 , wherein said metal part is positioned so as to be floating vertically relative to said base, so that said metal part enables simultaneous soldering to a destination PCB.
5. The memory card connector according to claim 1 , wherein a memory card reader body, complementary to said memory card connector, is fastened to a destination PCB, by means of a metal part of said memory card reader, said fastening being made by a screw.
6. The memory card connector according to claim 1 , furthermore comprising a counter-pressure area of a memory card.
7. The memory card connector according to claim 6 , wherein said counter-pressure area of a memory card comprises a metallic spring leaf configured to detect presence of a memory card.
8. The memory card connector according to claim 1 , furthermore comprising at least one centering hole that is used in conjunction with a centering pad of a memory card reader body.
9. A memory card reader terminal comprising:
a memory card connector comprising:
at least one pin for reading a memory card;
a parallelepiped-shaped base within which said at least one pin is positioned; and
an enclosure extending rearwards from said base and forming a continuous barrier between first and second sides of said base, said enclosure defining a protection area that comprises at least one contact termination of said at least one pin.
