Claim:
A card connector adapted for receiving an external card, comprising: an insulating housing having a base board of which two sides of a top are concaved downward to form a pair of sliding chutes each extending along a front-to-rear direction to penetrate through a front of the base board; a tray having a substantially U-shaped carrying board which has two slide boards and a connecting board connected between the two slide boards, a pair of restraining boards protruding upward from two opposite side edges of the slide boards, and a pair of blocking slices protruding upward from rear edges of the slide boards, a receiving space being formed among the carrying board, the restraining boards and the blocking slices for receiving the card therein, one end of a front side of the connecting board defining a locking fillister, the slide boards of the carrying board being slidably assembled in the sliding chutes of the base board to realize a front-to-rear slide of the tray with respect to the insulating housing; a lever having one end thereof designed with a locking section, and the other end thereof pivoted in the other end of the front side of the connecting board to make the lever rotatable between a closed position blocking a front of the receiving space by virtue of the locking section being bucked in the locking fillister for holding the card in the tray, and an opened position opening the front of the receiving space for the convenience of insertion and extraction of the card; and a terminal assembly disposed in the insulating housing and further projecting beyond the top of the base board to stretch into the receiving space for electrically connecting with the card.
