Electrical card connector

Abstract

An electrical card connector (100) includes an insulating housing (30), a metal shield (10) shielding over the insulating housing for defining a card receiving space, a plurality of contacts (32) received in the insulating housing and a base (20) assembled at a side of the metal shield. The insulating housing has a body portion (31) and first and second assembling boards (301, 302) formed at two ends of the body portion. The first assembling board defines a first retaining hole (35) and the second assembling board defines a second retaining hole (37). The base includes a guiding portion (21), an extending portion (22) at a front part of the guiding portion and a protruding portion (23) bending laterally from a distal end of the extending portion. The metal shield forms a first fastening element (15) received in the first retaining hole. A second fastening element (27) is retained by the protruding portion and is received in the second retaining hole.
