Claim:
A card connector for accommodating a removable card, comprising: a housing into and from which said removable card is inserted and ejected; connector terminals which come in contact with contacts of said removable card, respectively, when said removable card is inserted into said housing; a slider which moves in a card insertion direction and a card ejection direction, opposite to said card insertion direction, when said removable card is inserted and ejected into and from said housing, respectively; a first coil spring which biases said slider in said card insertion direction; a second coil spring which biases said slider in said card ejection direction, wherein each of said first coil spring and said second coil spring remains in contact with said slider and said housing, respectively, regardless of the position of said slider; and wherein a biasing force exerted on said slider by resiliency of said second coil spring is greater than a biasing force exerted on said slider by resiliency of said first coil spring.
