Embodiment Construction

[0016] Please see first Figure 1~3 , The card connector 10 of the present invention includes an insulating housing 12 and a cover 14 . The insulating housing 12 can be molded from plastic or similar materials, and the cover 14 can be stamped from sheet metal. Housing and cover are flat shape, and define a card accommodating groove 16 (as image 3 shown), to figure 1 The insertion and ejection directions indicated by the illustrated double arrow 20 accommodate a planar memory card 18 .

[0017] The insulating housing 12 includes a body 22, in which a plurality of terminals 24 are installed side by side on the insertion and ejection direction 20, and the housing 12 has a pair of side walls 26 protruding from the body 22 (see Figure 4 ), the side wall and the bottom wall of the housing together with the cover 14 define (enclose) the accommodating groove 16.

[0018] from image 3 It can be clearly seen that the terminal 24 is mounted on the body 22 of the housing 12 and ha...

Abstract

A memory card connector (10) includes a generally flat housing (12) for receiving a planar memory (18) card in an insertion and ejection direction. An ejection rod is reciprocally mounted on the housing for linear movement generally parallel to the insertion and ejection direction (20). An ejection lever (58) is pivotally mounted on the housing and is operatively associated with the ejection rod (48) for pivoting the lever in response to linear movement of the rod. The ejection lever has a generally flat plate (60) which is generally coplanar with the memory card, with the plate having a side edge (66) for engaging the card. The side edge of the lever has a generally convex configuration defining a center engaging portion for engaging the card during a first portion of an ejection stroke of the card and an end engaging portion (70) for engaging the card during a subsequent portion of the ejection stroke of the card.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to electrical connectors, in particular, to a card connector allowing insertion and removal of card-type memory media (or called memory cards). Background technique [0002] Card connectors which allow insertion and removal of memory cards are well known. For example, disclosed in Japanese Examined Utility Model Publication (KOKOKU) No. Heisei 7-31322, Japanese Patent No. 2761490 (corresponding to WATANABE's U.S. Patent No. 5,383,789); Japanese Patent No. 2781754; Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Heisei 8-129620 (corresponding to European Patent First Publication No. 0712178); Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Heisei 9-82411 (corresponding to International Publication WO 97 / 10691); and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Heisei 10 -189139. These types of card connectors typically include an ejection mechanism having an ejection lever movable in a direction parallel to the insertion and ejection ...
