Abstract
According to one general aspect, an apparatus includes a connector receptacle coupled to an electronic device. The connector receptacle is configured to receive a universal serial bus (USB) connector and a Micro SIM card. A connection member is disposed within the connector receptacle and configured to provide electrical communication between the Micro SIM card and the electronic device when the Micro SIM card is coupled to the connector receptacle. In some implementations, the electrical connector can also provide electrical communication between a USB connector and the electronic device when the USB connector is coupled thereto.
