Patent ID: 7503782

Claim:
A card connector mounted on a printed circuit board, comprising: an insulative housing receiving a plurality of terminals; a shield plate assembled on the insulative housing and defining a receiving slot with the insulative housing for receiving a card; an ejector coupled to the insulative housing, the ejector comprising a resilient member and a movable slider connecting with the resilient member, the slider having a triangular plate extending into the receiving slot and being capable of moving along a card inserting direction by the card; and a detecting switch assembled on the insulative housing and having a passive pin and an active pin, the active pin having a resilient curved part projecting into a moving track of the triangular plate, and the curved part being capable of moving by the triangular plate between an upper position where the active pin electrically and mechanically connects with the passive pin and a lower position where the active pin electrically and mechanically disconnects from the passive pin; wherein the insulative housing defines a receiving hole at a distal end thereof, and said active pin of detecting switch is received in the receiving hole, and the passive pin has a cutout overlapped on the receiving hole, and the curved part of active pin moveably projects through the cutout.
