Abstract

A memory card connector includes a housing for receiving a memory card movable in an insertion direction to an inserted position. The housing mounts a plurality of terminals having contact portions for engaging contacts on at least one side of the memory card. A one-piece metal electrostatic discharge (ESD) terminal is mounted on the housing. The ESD terminal includes an ESD portion for engaging the memory card before the contacts on the card engage the contact portions of the terminals, along with a lock portion for engaging the memory card to maintain the card in its inserted position.
