Abstract
Provided is a memory card, which includes two pairs of opposite edges, first row terminals arranged adjacent to an insertion-side edge of the memory card, and second row terminals arranged apart from the insertion-side edge of the memory card. The memory card can be easily reset in terms of software without controlling power supply in terms of hardware. Also, the memory card can be smoothly attached and detached during insertion of the memory card into a socket and reduce damage to a device.
Claims20
A memory card comprising:
- a plurality of first row terminals arranged adjacent to an insertion side of the memory card and including a first-voltage power supply terminal;
- and
- a plurality of second row terminals arranged farther apart from the insertion side than the plurality of first row terminals and including a second-voltage power supply terminal,
- wherein both the plurality of first row terminals and the plurality of second row terminals are configured to be electrically connected to a socket for operation,
- wherein the memory card comprises a first side and a second side adjacent to the insertion side and a third side opposite the insertion side, the first side is opposite the second side, and each of the first side and the second side is between the insertion side and the third side,
- wherein the first side includes a first portion parallel to the second side and a second portion disposed at an angle to the second side, and the first portion of the first side is between the insertion side and the second portion of the first side,
- wherein the second portion of the first side is curved and protrudes outwardly, and a position in which a distance between the first side and the second side is longest is in the second portion.
