Abstract
A card connector includes an insulating housing, a plurality of conductive terminals disposed to the insulating housing, an ejection mechanism and a shielding shell. The insulating housing defines a receiving trough. The ejection mechanism includes a sliding block slidably disposed to the receiving trough, and an elastic element restrained between the sliding block and a corresponding rear wall of the insulating housing. The sliding block has two clipping portions. A top surface of each clipping portion protrudes upward to form a stopping portion of which a front surface is defined as a stopping face. The shielding shell is covered on the insulating housing. One side of a top plate of the shielding shell defines an elastic piece. Two opposite sides of a rear edge of the elastic piece form two resisting portions resisting against the stopping faces to lock the SIM card in the card connector.
