Abstract
A card connector includes a housing having a receptacle to receive therein a card in an insertion direction and the card has a terminal member. A connection terminal is secured to the housing and is configured to contact the terminal member of the card. A card ejecting action detecting switch is configured to detect when the card is ejected from the housing. A card guide mechanism is provided with an urging member for urging the card in a direction opposite the insertion direction. The card guide mechanism is configured to hold the card at a locked position to ensure that the terminal member of the card is in contact with the connection terminal and to permit movement of the card in the opposite direction by a pushing force exerted on the card in the insertion direction. The card guide mechanism ejects the card after performing a pushing action on the card a plurality of times.
