Abstract A connecting device with a low height comprises a connector part, and a set of metal terminals. The connector part has a height compatible with the height of an inner space in a standard USB interface slot socket so as to be inserted into the standard USB interface slot socket. The set of metal terminals is arranged on the connector part and composed of a plurality of metal sheets and each metal sheet has an end disposed in the connector part and another end extending outward the connector part. The first end of the respective metal sheet in the set of metal terminals contacts with internal electronic signal of the standard USB interface slot socket and the second end of the respective metal sheet is soldered to a printed circuit board. Furthermore, the low height connecting device can be revised as an electronic connecting device capable of being inserted into the USB slot socket so that both of the connecting devices can be used in a dual interface memory storage apparatus or a memory storage apparatus.
A low profile USB interface memory storage apparatus, comprising: a casing, receiving and bearing following components; a printed circuit board, being arranged in the casing, providing a layout of lead wire circuit; a memory array, at least comprising a memory component as a data storage apparatus; a controller, being disposed in the casing, being provided with a layout of required circuit for completing transmission and transformation between USB interface signal and data signal and saving data into the memory array; and an interface connector having the height compatible with the distance between the receptacle contact and bottom of the USB connector slot which to be inserted, which exposing outward the casing, providing a connecting joint to connect with the printed circuit board.
