Patent ID: 6976880

Claim:
A card connector adapted for assembling on a PCB (printed circuit board) for data communication between an electronic card and the PCB, comprising: an insulative housing being flat and rectangle including a mating surface and a connecting surface corresponding to short sides of the insulative housing, a bottom face and two sides respectively adjacent to the mating surface and the connecting surface, and an assembling zone abutting to one of the two sides, wherein the mating surface having a mating slot, and a plurality of passageways going through the connecting surface and being defined in an inner side of the connecting surface; a plurality of conductive terminals received in the plurality of passageways, each terminal comprising a contact portion, an interferential portion and a soldering portion, wherein the soldering portion connecting with a signal circuit of the PCB; a guiding and restraining device cantileveredly assembled on the assembling zone of the insulative housing including: a leading slot longitudinally positioned in the assembling zone; a slider being slidable on the leading slot including a first and a second guiding slot which are arranged thereon; a restraining groove positioned in a junction of the first and the second guiding slot; a guiding rod wherein an end thereof is fixed in the assembling zone and another end is slidable on the first and the second guiding slot and leading slot; and a resilient element mounted on the assembling zone; a shell assembled on a top of the insulative housing and connecting with an end of inspection circuit of the PCB; and a driven shaft fixed at a side opposite to the guiding and restraining device and adjacent to the connecting surface, wherein an end thereof protruding from the connecting surface and linking with the inspection circuit of the PCB, whereas another end thereof being cantileveredly free, and an arcuated portion formed on the middle of the driven shaft.
