Stackable memory card connector

The memory card connector of claim further including:

• a first stand-off extending from said housing in a direction substantially opposite said first side guide arm;
• and
• a second stand-off extending from said housing in a direction substantially opposite said second side guide arm;
• wherein said plurality of conductive members are positioned between said first and second stand-offs.

The memory card connector of claim further including:

• a first stand-off extending from said housing in a direction substantially opposite said first side guide arm;
• second stand-off extending from said housing in a direction substantially opposite said second side guide arm;
• a first recess defined by a bottom surface of said first stand-off;
• a second recess defined by said bottom surface of said second stand-off;
• a first post extending from a top surface of said first stand-off opposite said first recess;
• and
• a second post extending from said top surface of said second stand-off opposite said second recess.

A stackable memory card connector system for use with a board comprising:

• (1) a first memory card connector comprising;
• (a) a respective first side guide arm,
• (b) a respective second side guide arm,
• (c) a respective housing interconnecting said first and second side guide arms and defining a plurality of respective passageways,
• (d) a respective single cross-member guide extending between said respective first and second side guide arms at a respective top portion of each of said first and second side guide arms,
• (e) a plurality of respective conductive members disposed in corresponding respective passageways,
• (f) bottom alignment means,
• (2) a second memory card connector comprising:
• (a) a respective first side guide arm,
• (b) a respective second side guide arm,
• (c) a respective housing interconnecting said first and second side guide arms and defining a plurality of respective passageways,
• (d) a respective single cross-member guide extending between said respective first and second side guide arms at a respective top portion of each of said first and second side guide arms,

• (f) top alignment means;
• (3) wherein said bottom alignment means of said first memory card connector and said top alignment means of said second memory card connector cooperate to align said second memory card connector atop said first memory card connector.

A memory card connector mounted to a circuit board comprising:

• a first side guide arm;
• a second side guide arm;
• a housing interconnecting said first and second side guide arms and defining a plurality of passageways;
• a single cross-member guide extending between said respective first and second side guide arms;
• a plurality of conductive members dimensioned to be positioned in corresponding passageways;
• a first side guide arm-offset disposed on a bottom surface of said first side guide arm, said first offset increasing the height between said first side guide arm and the circuit board;
• and
• a second side guide arm-offset disposed on a bottom surface of said second side guide arm, said second offset increasing the height between said second side guide arm and the circuit board.
