Electrical card connector having an eject mechanism

An electrical connector assembly comprising:

• an electronic card defining a side notch therein;
• and
• an electrical card connector including:
• an insulative housing retaining a plurality of contacts therein;
• a front resistance tab:
• a stopping flap:
• an eject mechanism, comprising:
• a cam element defining receiving groove defining inner and outer positions thereof in opposite insertion/ejection directions;
• a slider for pressing the front resistance tab and the stopping flap, and being restricted to move between the front resistance tab and the stopping flap relative to the housing along said insertion/ejection directions;
• and
• a cam follower linked between said cam element and said slider, and moveable, together with the slider, relative to the cam element in said insertion/ejection directions, said cam follower forming a clasp which performs essentially transverse movements perpendicular to said insertion/ejection directions;
• wherein under a condition that the card is received into the connector and moved together with the slider, the clasp is transversely moved to be received in the notch when said cam follower is located in the inner position for locking the card, and the clasp is transversely moved to be released from the notch when the cam follower is located in the outer position for unlocking the card.
