Information handling system sim socket pin protection system and method

A method for ejecting a planar card from a planar card socket, the method comprising:

• pressing an eject member into the planar card socket;
• translating the pressing to slide a contact cover from a forward position in the planar card socket towards a rearward position in the planar card socket;
• translating the pressing to rotate an eject arm from the rearward position to the forward position, the eject arm aligned to push a planar card out of the planar card socket in the forward position;
• extending plural spring contacts through an opening of the contact cover in the forward position;
• and
• engaging the spring contacts with the contact cover when the contact cover slides towards the rearward position to compress the spring contacts below the contact cover.

A planar card socket comprising:

• a tray inserted in a housing and configured to accept a planar card;
• plural spring contacts configured to align with contact pads of the planar card;
• an eject member;
• an eject arm coupled to the eject member, the eject member pressing into the housing to activate the eject arm, the eject arm activating to push the planar card and tray out of the housing;
• and
• a contact cover having an opening aligned with the spring contacts, the spring contacts extending through the opening when the contact cover is in a forward position, the eject member pressing the contact cover into the housing to press down the spring contacts when the tray slides out of the housing and the contact cover slides towards a rearward position.
