Abstract
A SIM card retainer includes an installing base and a locking device. The installing base has a receiving space, which exposes a SIM card connector and is used for receiving the SIM card. The locking device has a fixing portion, a force-applying portion and a deformable portion. The locking device is disposed on the installing base so that the SIM card is fixed within the receiving space by the fixing portion and electrically connected to a SIM card connector. Applying a force on the force-applying portion, the deformable portion will deform elastically and the fixing portion will withdraw from the receiving space, so that the SIM card can be loaded into or unloaded from the installing base. The SIM card is fixed by removing the applying force from the force-applying portion to recover the original shape of the deformable portion and to return the fixing portion.
