Abstract

A card connector is disclosed for connecting a memory card. The card connector includes a connecting section for receiving a mating section of a memory card, a guide section that extends from a side of the connecting section for guiding a memory card so that a mating section of the memory card mates with the connecting section, and a that is tab received in the guide section and has a base section, an elastic section that extends from a side of the base section for elastically pressing against a memory card, and a grounding section below the base section for providing electrostatic discharge grounding.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A card connector for connecting a memory card, comprising:
 a connecting section for receiving a mating section of a memory card;   a guide section extending from a side of the connecting section for guiding a memory card so that a mating section of the memory card mates with the connecting section; and   a tab received in the guide section and having a base section, an elastic section extending from a side of the base section for elastically pressing against a memory card, and a grounding section below the base section for providing electrostatic discharge grounding.   
     
     
         2 . A card connector according to  claim 1 , wherein the elastic section is integrally formed with the base section. 
     
     
         3 . A card connector according to  claim 1 , wherein the elastic section is bent to form a ridge. 
     
     
         4 . A card connector according to  claim 1 , wherein the guide section comprises a slot and at least a portion of the elastic section protrudes from the slot. 
     
     
         5 . A card connector according to  claim 1 , wherein the grounding section is integrally formed with the base section. 
     
     
         6 . A card connector according to  claim 1 , wherein the tab is vertically received in the guide section.
