- the larger memory card has a recessed mating end 76 with arrays of contacts for engaging the two groups of terminals 42.
- FIG. 11 simply shows that memory card connector 30 can be used to receive a single reduced-size memory card 66 and does not necessarily have to receive two reduced-size cards. In other words, the connector can receive one or two reduced-size cards or one larger size card.
- FIG. 12 shows that cover 48 has a large recessed, downwardly projecting area 84 which also can be seen in FIG. 4. In FIG. 11 , a pair of downwardly projecting protrusions 86 are formed on the underside of the cover for insertion into a pair of recesses 88 in the top surfaces of memory cards 66.
