Abstract
An electronic card connector includes an insulative housing (1), a card ejection mechanism (2), a contact module (3), and a detecting device (4) for detecting whether an electronic card is fully inserted into the connector. The housing defines a receiving cavity (10) for accommodating the ejection mechanism at a position adjacent a lateral side of the housing. The ejection mechanism includes a guiding structure (20), a lid (22), a slide rod (24), a slide block (26), an elastic element (27) and a retaining assembly (28). The guiding structure is formed in the housing. The guiding structure includes a recess (201) and an arcuate island (200) formed in a middle of the recess. An end (244) of the slide rod is slidably fitted in the recess. The contact module includes two contact elements (31, 32) mounted end-to-end in the housing.
