Abstract

An electrical card connector (100) includes an insulating housing (1), a plurality of terminals (2) received in the insulating housing (1), an ejector (4) including a slider (40) and a pin member (42), and a metal shield (3) shielding the insulating housing (1) to define a card receiving space (6). The slider (40) is moveable relative to the housing (1) along a front-to-back direction under a controlled movement of the pin member (42).The metal shield (3) comprises a flat portion (30) over the insulating housing (1) and a pair of sidewalls (32) extending downwardly from the flat portion (30). The flat portion (30) defines a first spring arm (35) extending rearwardly into the card receiving space (6) and a second spring arm (36) extending forwardly into the card receiving space (6) for abutting against the pin member (42).
