The invention is directed to a memory card that includes a host connector conforming to a host connection standard protruding from a flexible housing. The flexible housing conforms to a form factor of a memory card standard, substantially similar to a credit card with an increased thickness to accommodate the host connector and allow a memory to fit within the housing. The host connector facilitates direct coupling of the memory card to a computing device without an adapter or reader. The memory card may include a smart card contact conforming to an ISO 7816 smart card standard that allows the memory card to be backward compatible with conventional smart card readers. Unlike conventional memory cards, the flexible memory card is compatible with smart card applications, and unlike conventional smart cards, the flexible memory card includes a powerful, internal memory.

A transmission line connector for a contact set assembly for making contacts to contact elements of electrical devices, such as IC devices including DIPs and LCCs, affords a controlled impedance path between the contact elements of a device to be contacted and remote terminal ends of the respective transmission line conductors. The connector may be flexible or rigid. An actuating mechanism engages the connector adjacent the opposite end edges thereof for urging probe elements attached to the respective end terminals of the respective plurality of conductive lines into engagement with corresponding contact elements of the device to be contacted. A flexible transmission line connector permits rapid and continuous actuation of the actuating device between a normal disengaged position and an engaged position for making contact. The controlled impedance transmission line conductor is adaptable for providing contact to a wide range of device as to size and configuration, and as to number and location of contacts.
