Patent ID: 7404723

Claim:
A card connector, comprising: a base, having a slide guiding slot extending substantially along a direction of an electronic card inserted, and the base being secured on a circuit board; a housing, disposed on the base, being a conductive material and electrically coupled to the circuit board, wherein the housing and the base define a receiving space for receiving an electronic card; a terminal set, engaged to the base, having a plurality of terminals, each of which has both ends, one exposed in the receiving space and the other electrically connected to the circuit board; a first detecting conductive element, disposed on the base, having an end to connect to the circuit board; and a slidable unit, disposed in the slide guiding slot and slidable therein comprising: a sliding block, mainly secured in the slide guiding slot of the base and slidable therein, wherein the sliding block comprises a protrusion projecting toward the receiving space; and a second detecting conductive element, secured in the sliding block, comprising a first contact portion in contact with the housing; wherein at least a portion of the first detecting conductive element is positioned in a moving path of the second detecting conductive element to establish an electrical connection with the second detecting conductive element when the second detecting conductive element slides with the sliding block.
