Abstract
A slim card reader is disclosed. One end of a shell body has a plugging slot plugged with a memory card, and there are metal connection pins that contact the memory card. The characteristic is the second end of the shell body corresponds to a female plugging slot of the USB port, and on the surface of the end of the shell body corresponding to the female plugging slot, there are a plurality of metal flakes that contact the conducting flakes in the female plugging slot. The key point, which makes a breakthrough in the dimensions of the card reader, is that the present invention doesn't use a conventional USB plugging head design. The metal external mask of the USB plugging head is removed. The limitation caused by the large dimensions of the USB plugging head produced by the format of the metal external mask is overcome.
