Abstract
A memory card connector includes an insulative housing having a terminal-mounting section which mounts a plurality of conductive terminals having contact portions for engaging appropriate contacts on a memory card. The housing at least in part defines a card-receiving cavity for receiving the memory card. A card eject mechanism includes a slider movably mounted on the housing. The slider is engageable with the memory card for movement therewith into and out of the cavity. The card eject mechanism includes an ejection spring to bias the slider and memory card in an ejection direction. The slider has an elongated guide slot between a pair of opposite parallel side walls extending longitudinally in the direction of movement of the slider. A shielding metal shell is mounted on the housing and includes an elongated guide tab projecting into the guide slot. The guide tab has opposite longitudinal planar surfaces opposing the side walls of the slot.
