Abstract
A card connector (100) used for receiving an inserted card (5), defining a card receiving space and a card insertion/ejection direction, includes an insulative housing (2), a number of contacts (3) retained in the insulative housing, a metal shell (7) covering the insulative housing, a slider (41) assembled on the insulative housing, and a spring (42) compressed between the insulative housing and the slider for urging the slider along the card ejection direction. The metal shell includes a flexible beam (711) extending towards the card receiving space and a holding portion (712) at the free end of the flexible beam. The slider has a notch (413) releasably engaged with the holding portion. The slider is moveable relative to the insulative housing along the card insertion direction in response to a separation of the holding portion from the notch.
