Abstract
A card connector (30) having a guide portion (40) to ease loading/unloading of a memory card (14). The card connector (30) includes a substantially rectangular slot (38) defined by a top edge (32), a pair of side edges (34), and a bottom margin (36). The guide portion (40) is disposed adjacent the slot (38) and has a bottom wall (42) and a pair of side walls (44). A first tapered feature (50), disposed on the bottom wall (42), is directed from a leading edge (52) of the bottom wall (42) toward the bottom margin (36) of the slot (38). Each of the side walls (44) has a second tapered feature (60) directed from a leading edge (62) of the side wall (44) toward one of the pair of side edges of the slot (38). The guide portion (40) will prevent stubbing of the memory card (14) against edges of the card connector (30) slot (38) and may be retro-fit onto an existing card connector assembly.
