A card connector comprising:

• a base frame having side frames formed by bending at both sides thereof;
• a connector body provided at an end side of the base frame opposite the side where a card is inserted and serving to arrange and fix a plurality of contact pins in a row;
• a shutter member that has through orifices corresponding to the plurality of contact pins that are arranged in a row and fixed by the connector body and can move in a state in which the contact pins are inserted into the through orifices;
• a rotary arm whose one end is in a central position of the shutter member and whose other end is positioned at one of the side frames of the base frame;
• and
• an eject structure that applies a pushing force to the other end of the rotary arm in a direction toward the connector body, when the card is pulled out, and provides a force in a direction of pulling out the card via the shutter member in the central position of the shutter member by the one end of the rotary arm,
• wherein the rotary arm is pivotally supported on a surface side of the base frame opposite a surface side where the card is inserted, and
• a hook section is formed at the shutter member, an opening is provided substantially in a center of the base frame in a widthwise direction, and the one end of the rotary arm is engaged with the hook section of the shutter member that exits from the opening.
