Abstract (en)

An improved connector 14 of a card reader 10, the card reader 10 includes a circuit board 12 in a housing 11 as its principal unit; the circuit board 12 has a USB connecting port 13 to make circuit connection with a set of electric equipment, and is provided at least with one aforesaid connector 14 for insertion of a memory card. Wherein: the main body of the connector 14 is integrally made by injection molding purely of plastic, and a grounding electric circuit of the connector 14 is connected to a metallic housing 11 of a USB connecting port 13 to form circuit continuation of the metallic housing 11 of the USB connecting port 13 and the electric equipment, and to effectively prevent static-electricity damage. Because the main body of the connector 14 is made by injection molding purely of plastic, this can largely lower the cost of production of the connector 14.
