Abstract
A card connector includes a base plate with an accommodating groove, a card-ejecting device, and a retainer for retaining the card-ejecting device on the baseplate. The accommodating groove has an open front end and a closed rear end, and is adapted to receive a card therein. The card has a front end extending from the front end of the groove, and a rear end that is spaced apart from the rear end of the groove at a small distance. When the front end of the card is pressed inwardly to move the rear end of the card to the rear end of the groove, and is subsequently released, the card-ejecting device pushes the card outwardly relative to the connector. Accordingly, the card can be ejected with ease.
