Electrical card connector having a switch device

An electrical card connector adapted to engage with an electrical card, comprising:

• an insulative housing retaining a plurality of contacts therein;
• a switch device retained within the housing and including a pair of switch terminals having the same configuration and a bridge member;
• wherein
• the switch device indicates whether the electrical card is inserted into the card connector by an electrical engagement/disengagement between the switch terminals and the bridge member;
• wherein the switch terminal and the contacts have the same configuration;
• wherein the housing defines a pair of switch receiving cavities for respectively receiving the switch terminals, and a recess in communication with both switch receiving cavities for receiving the bridge member;
• wherein the housing forms an end wall at an end thereof, the recess being defined in the end wall and the switch receiving cavities being adjacent to the recess;
• wherein each switch terminal has a base with barbs on lateral sides thereof, a curved actuating section extending from the base for engaging with the electrical card when the electrical card is inserted, a contact section extending from the actuating section for electrically contacting the bridge member, and a connecting end extending from the base opposite to the contact section.
