Abstract
An electrical card connector (100) includes an insulative base (10), a plurality of conductive terminals (30), a card eject mechanism (40) assembled to the base, and a shield (20). The insulative base defines a locking indentation (11) at a rear end thereof. The card eject mechanism includes a movable member (42), a coil spring (43) and a link rod (41). The link rod has a first end (412) engaging with the movable member at either a locking position (“A”) or a releasing position (“B”) of the movable member and a second end (411) received in the indentation of the base. The shield has a hook (21) received in the indentation of the base and engaged with the rear end of the link rod, thereby securing the rear end of the link rod to the base.
