Connector tray and connector

A connector tray inserted into a connector body in an insertion direction while accommodating an object to be connected, the connector tray comprising:

• a tray body configured to accommodate the object to be connected;
• a tray exterior portion connected to the tray body to be displaceable along the insertion direction;
• and
• a push-push mechanism disposed between the tray body and the tray exterior portion in a tandem arrangement and configured to displace the tray exterior portion in the insertion direction between a first position away from the tray body and a second position close to the tray body,
• the push-push mechanism includes:
• a cam mechanism connected to the tray exterior portion;
• and
• a push-out mechanism arranged in parallel to the cam mechanism in the insertion direction and configured to push out the tray exterior portion in the insertion direction with respect to the tray body,
• wherein the push-out mechanism includes two springs disposed on opposite sides with respect to the cam mechanism in a width direction perpendicular to the insertion direction,
• wherein the tray body has a pair of guide portions that are situated separately on the opposite sides with respect to the cam mechanism in the width direction and extend along the insertion direction,
• wherein the tray exterior portion has a pair of guided portions contacting the pair of guide portions,
• wherein each of the pair of guide portions has a guide bottom which is to be in contact with one of the guided portions, and a spring receiving groove for receiving the one of the two springs,
• wherein the spring receiving groove has a spring receiving groove bottom formed at a position lower than the guide bottom in a height direction perpendicular to the insertion direction and the width direction.
