Electrical card connector with a wedge-shaped block

A card connector for use with an electronic card, comprising:

• an insulative housing defining a card receiving space;
• a plurality of terminals disposed in the housing with contacting sections extending into the card receiving space for mechanical and electrical engagement with the card;
• a switch contact set including a moveable contact and an immovable contact mechanically and electrically engaged with each other when no card is inserted into the card receiving space, said moveable contact, which is configured to be actuated by the electronic card, including a deflectable section backwardly extending from a stationary section, said deflectable section including a first segment extending from the stationary section in a first angle direction and a second segment extending from the first segment in a second angle direction, which is steeper than the first angle direction, with thereof a contact portion extending into the card receiving space, wherein
• the housing defines a downwardly facing wedge section extending essentially along a lengthwise direction of said first segment when no card is received in the card receiving space.

• the housing defines a downwardly facing wedge section, and a joint between the deflectable section and the stationary section is intimately located beside said wedge section so as to assure said joint can not be upwardly moved during downward deflection of the deflectable section, and no engagement between the moveable contact and the immoveable contact when the electronic is received in the card receiving space.
