Patent ID: 7568926

Claim:
A card connector for receiving a card, comprising: an insulating housing comprising a base section and a base seat at a lateral side of the base section; a rectangular shell defining a receiving space having an L-shape card slot and a rectangular space at a back corner of the receiving space along an inserting direction of a card; and an ejecting mechanism mounted on the base seat of the insulating housing; wherein the shell covers on the insulating housing with the base section located in the card slot, the base seat is situated in the rectangular space, and a width of the base section and the base seat is approximately equal to that of the shell along a transverse direction perpendicular to the inserting direction of the card, wherein the base seat comprises a second sliding groove beside the sliding groove to receive the second mechanism, wherein the sliding groove and the second sliding groove are arranged side by side with respect to the transverse direction of a card, wherein the second mechanism comprises a second ejecting member moving in the second sliding groove, a second spring member for moving the second ejecting member towards an ejecting direction of the card, and a second latch member for holding the second ejecting member in position, wherein the ejecting member and the second ejecting member extend in different directions into the first receiving space and the second receiving space, respectively, wherein the ejecting member of the ejecting mechanism extends into the receiving space in a first direction and the second ejecting mechanism extends into the second receiving space in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, wherein the ejecting mechanism protrudes into the card slot by passing through a sliding channel formed on one edge of the sliding groove, and the second ejecting mechanism protrudes into the second receiving space by passing through a second sliding channel formed on a bottom of the second sliding groove.
