Abstract:
1. A card connector adapted for being communicated between a card and a circuit board of a communication device, comprising: an insulating housing having a bottom wall, a first side wall and a second side wall extending upward from two opposite sides of the bottom wall, and a rear wall extending upward from a rear end of the bottom wall, one side of a top surface of the bottom wall adjacent to the second side wall being concaved downward to form a sliding groove; a plurality of conductive terminals integrally molded with the insulating housing with contact arms defined at fronts thereof projecting beyond the top surface of the bottom wall to electrically contact with the card, and soldering arms defined at rears thereof projecting behind a rear surface of the bottom wall to be soldered with the circuit board; an ejection mechanism including a sliding block slidably disposed to the sliding groove of the insulating housing, an elastic element clipped between the sliding block and the rear wall, and a guide pin of which one end is fastened in the sliding block and the other end is slidably located in a front of the one side of the insulating housing, the sliding block having a base body, a sliding portion extending sideward from a rear end of one side surface of the base body to project on the top surface of the bottom wall for ejecting the card out, and an extending portion extending forward from one side of a front surface of the base body to be slidably located in the sliding groove; a handle lever slidably disposed to the insulating housing and the sliding block, the handle lever having a base board, and a first sliding rail and a second sliding rail extending rearward from two opposite sides of the base board, the first sliding rail being slidably disposed to the other side of the insulating housing adjacent to the first side wall, and the second sliding rail being slidably mounted to the extending portion of the sliding block; and a shielding shell covered on the insulating housing to form an insertion space between the insulating housing and the shielding shell for receiving the card therein, wherein the card is locked in or ejected out of the insertion space of the card connector by virtue of pushing the handle lever rearward to push the sliding block to slide rearward so as to drive an action of the ejection mechanism.
