Claims6
A card connector for electrically connecting a removal card to a circuit board, comprising:
- a case for accommodating said removal card;
- a slider provided within said case for sliding in a card insertion/removal direction;
- spring means for biasing said slider in a card removing direction;
- a card retention arm cantilevered on said slider in said card insertion/removal direction and having an inward projection;
- a raised portion provided on said case so as to abut on an outer face of said card retention arm so that when a removal card with a notch provided on a side thereof is inserted into said case, said inward projection engages said notch and when said removal card is further inserted, said raised portion restricts outward movement of said card retention arm.
A card connector for electrically connecting a removable card to a circuit board, comprising:
- a case for accommodating said removable card;
- a slider provided within said case for sliding along with said removable card in a card insertion/removal direction;
- spring means for biasing said slider in a removing direction;
- a card retention arm cantilevered to said slider in said card insertion/removal direction and having an inward projection and a downward projection at a front end thereof;
- an elongated groove provided in said case in said card insertion/removal direction so that when a removable card with a notch provided on a side thereof is inserted into said case, said inward projection engages said notch and said downward projection slides on said case and then engages said elongated groove to prevent said card retention arm from reflecting outwardly whereas when a removable card with no notch is inserted into said case, said card retention arm is flexed outwardly and said downward projection slides on said case outside said elongated groove.
