Abstract
A card connector includes a switch installed therein for generating on/off status in response to the insertion/withdrawal of an electrical card. The switch includes an elastic plate having a fulcrum end fixed in the connector, a free end normally connected to two separated metal plates fixed in the connector and an intermediate portion connected between the fulcrum end and the free end. An extension is formed in the intermediate portion of the elastic plate for receiving a force from the inserted card to urge the free end away from contacting with the two metal plates.
