Abstract:
1. A card connector adapted for receiving an external card, comprising: an insulating housing defining a receiving chamber for receiving the card therein, and a sliding recess adjacent to one side of the receiving chamber, a top of a side wall of the insulating housing beside the sliding recess defining a gap; a plurality of terminals disposed in the insulating housing and projecting upward into the receiving chamber for electrically connecting the card; an ejecting device including a sliding body which is slidably disposed in the sliding recess of the insulating housing, a spring restrained between a rear sidewall of the sliding recess and the sliding body, and an ejecting pin, a top face of the sliding body defining a sliding fillister penetrating through an outside of the sliding body to communicate with the gap of the insulating housing, a bottom sidewall of the sliding fillister protruding upward to form a blocking block spaced from a front sidewall of the sliding fillister and designating a front face thereof as a blocking face; and a cover coupled on the insulating housing, the cover having a top plate of which one side is die-cut to form an elastic slice inclined downward into the sliding fillister and elastically against a top of the blocking block, and a side plate which is against an outside of the side wall, a portion of the side plate being opened to form an opening corresponding to and communicated with the gap of the insulating housing, a rear side edge of the elastic slice further extending outward to form a pushing portion passing through the gap and the opening to stretch outside, a front end of the pushing portion extending forward and being inclined upward to form a guiding eave, wherein in the process of the card being inserted into the receiving chamber of the card connector and pushing the sliding body to move rearward, the elastic slice of the cover is elastically propped upward by the blocking block and slides forward with respect to the blocking block, when the card is inserted in place, the elastic slice slips off from the blocking block to resist against the blocking face, when the card needs to be withdrawn from the card connector, the ejecting pin is pushed rearward to reach under the pushing portion by virtue of the guide of the guiding eave, then the ejecting pin keeps being pushed rearward to gradually eject the pushing portion upward and further bring the elastic slice away from the blocking face of the blocking block so as to set free the blocking block and the spring to push the card out.
