Abstract
An electrical card connector (100) is provided for electrically connecting with an electrical card (9) defining a notch (90) and includes a cover (1), a number of conductive contacts (2) and an eject mechanism. The eject mechanism includes a heart cam element (51) defining a heart-shaped guiding groove (510), a slider (52), a cam follower (53) having a clap (533) and a pair of coiled springs (54) disposed between the heart cam element and the slider. The cam follower has an end connecting with the slider and an opposite end moving in the guiding groove of the heart cam element. When the electrical card is inserted into the electrical card connector, the clasp of the cam follower is displaced into the notch of the card. When the card is ejected from the connector, the clasp disengages from the connector.
