Abstract
A card connector includes an insulating housing (10), a number of contacts (20) and an ejector (30). The insulating housing (10) defines a card receiving space (13) with a card insertion/ejection direction. The contacts (20) comprises a number of contacting portions (23) exposed into the card receiving space (13) and arranged in two rows along the card insertion/ejection direction to electrically connect with a card. The ejector (30) includes a slider (31) moving along the card insertion/ejection direction with the card inserted/ejected, an ejecting arm (323) protruding into the card receiving space (13) to eject the card, holding means to securely hold the slider (31) in a final position, and a resilient member (34) disposed in the slider to urge the slider (31) to move along the card ejection direction.
