Electronic card connector and electronic card connector assembly thereof

An electronic card connector assembly, used for receiving an electronic card, and having an electronic card connector and a card tray, the electronic card connector comprising:

• an insulative housing, defining a first base body, a second base body, and an accommodating cavity between the first base body and the second base body;
• a plurality of conductive terminals retained in the insulative housing, and each conductive terminal having a contacting portion extending into the accommodating cavity and a soldering portion extending outside of the insulative housing;
• and
• a shielding shell attached to the insulative housing, the shielding shell having a top wall, wherein the top wall has a guiding portion located in the front thereof and extending into the accommodating cavity, and the guiding portion is located in front of an upper part of the insulative housing;
• wherein the card tray has a supporting portion receiving an electronic card and a panel portion located behind the supporting portion, the supporting portion is received in the accommodating cavity, and the panel portion is located outside of the insulative housing;
• wherein the first base body is inject-molded with the first contacts and the shielding shell, and the first contacts are configured as same as the second contacts in a rotationally symmetrical direction in 180 degree, the contacting portions of the conductive terminals are always electrically connected with pins of the electronic card correctly, the contacting portions of the conductive terminals are able to connect with the electronic card of either side of the card tray, and a free end of the panel portion with a corresponding free end of the supporting portion in a transverse direction has the same distance with the other free end of the panel portion with a corresponding free end of the supporting portion in the transverse direction.

An electronic card connector, mounted in a printed circuit board, comprising:

• a first base body;
• a plurality of first contacts retained in the first base body, each first contact having an affixed portion retained in the first base body, a contacting portion and a soldering portion extending outside of the first base body;
• and
• a shielding shell attached to the first base body, the shielding shell having a top wall and a pair of side walls bent downwardly from two opposite ends of the top wall, the first base body inject-molded with the first contacts and the top wall, each side wall having a plurality of tail portions mounted to the printed circuit board wherein the top wall has a guiding portion located in the front thereof and extending into the accommodating cavity, and the guiding portion is located in front of the first base body;
• wherein the first base body, the shielding shell and the printed circuit board together form an accommodating cavity for receiving an electronic card along an inserted direction, and the contacting portions are extending into the accommodating cavity.
