A memory card connector is provided for mounting on a printed circuit board and includes an insulative housing mounting a plurality of conductive terminals and having a bottom board-mounting face. A cover is pivotally mounted on the housing for pivotal movement between an open position to allow the memory card to be positioned in the connector and a closed position biasing contacts on the memory card into engagement with the terminals on the housing. The cover includes a pivot projection at one end thereof, and the housing includes a pivot socket at one end thereof for receiving the pivot projection. The pivot socket includes a pivot portion and a latch portion communicating with the pivot portion to allow the cover to slidably move from its closed position to a latched position. An open mouth communicates with one of the pivot portion or the latch portion to allow the pivot projection to be inserted into the pivot socket. The mouth is open at the bottom board-mounting face of the housing, whereby the mouth becomes closed when the housing is mounted on the printed circuit board to prevent the pivot projection from coming out of the pivot socket.
