Claims7
A card connector assembly comprising:
- an electrical connector including an insulative housing, a plurality of terminals secured to the insulative housing, a shell covering the insulative housing to form a receiving cavity, and an ejector having a pivot;
- and
- a card tray removably received in the receiving cavity between an inserted position and a withdrawn position, the card tray having a front surface;
- wherein
- the card tray has a protrusion at the front surface;
- and
- the pivot has an engaging portion for ejecting the card tray, the engaging portion having a recess receiving the protrusion when the card tray is at the inserted position and a free end riding onto the protrusion when the card tray is at the withdrawn position.
A card connector assembly comprising:
- an electrical connector including an insulative housing, a plurality of terminals secured to the insulative housing, a shell covering the insulative housing to form a receiving cavity, and an ejector operable from an exterior and having a pivot having a free end;
- and
- a card tray removably received in the receiving cavity along an ejecting direction between an inserted position and a withdrawn position, the card tray having a front end region to intimately confront the free end of the pivot in said ejecting direction;
- wherein
- the free end of the pivot and the front end region of the card tray are at least partially overlapped with each other in a transverse direction perpendicular to the ejecting direction when the card tray is at the inserted position.
