Abstract

A card connector (100) comprises an insulative housing (1), a plurality of contacts (2) retained in the insulative housing (1) and an ejecting mechanism (4). The insulative housing (1) defines an interface (14) in front and a receiving space (10) extending backwardly from the interface (14). The ejecting mechanism (4) comprises a slider (41), a spring (42) sandwiched between the slider (41) and the insulative housing (1), and a pole (43) for controlling the slider (41). The slider (41) defines a heart-shape groove (414) and a heart-shape block (415) located in the heart-shape groove (414). The heart-shape groove (414) includes a first slot (4141). The heart-shape block (415) includes a mucro (4154) at a rear end thereof. The mucro (4154) and the first slot (4141) define an escaping space (4153) therebetween. When the pole (43) moves aslant, the escaping space (4153) will receive the pole (43) for avoiding the pole (43) colliding with the mucro (4153).
