Abstract
A card connector into and from which a memory card is detachably inserted and removed, includes contacts each adapted to contact a connection portion of the memory card, and a housing for arranging and holding the contacts and having an inserting opening for inserting the memory card. The housing includes two side walls, a rear wall, and a lower wall contiguous to these side and rear walls to form the inserting opening for the memory card by these walls. A shell is arranged on the side of the housing opposite from the lower wall, and an elastically deformable tray is arranged on the lower wall so as to be slidable with the aid of a tray restraining plate. The card connector is miniaturized and lighter, more compact and simple in construction and is easy to remove a memory card.
