Multi-function card connector

A card connector adapted for mating at least two types of cards, comprising:

• an insulative housing defining a card receiving space;
• a plurality of contacts supported by the insulative housing and accommodated in the card receiving space, said plurality of contacts divided into two sets and arranged along a longitudinal direction and adapted for mating with the two types cards, respectively;
• and
• an ejecting mechanism mounted to the insulative housing, the ejecting mechanism including a first slider, a second slider, a follower and a spring, and wherein one of the card is carried by the first slider and independent from the second carrier, and the other card carried by the first slider and the second slider.

A card connector for mating with first and second type cards, comprising:

• an insulative housing defining a card receiving space;
• first and second sets of contacts disposed in the housing for mating with said first and second type cards, respectively;
• a first slider essentially positioned on and moveable relative to the housing in a front-to-back direction, said first slider equipped with a combination of a spring constantly urging the first slider forwardly and a follower moving along a cycled slot;
• and
• a second slider essentially positioned on and moveable relative to the housing in the front-to-back direction, the second slider being associatively movable along with the first slider;
• wherein
• the first slider back and forth moves relative to the housing in the front-to-back direction by actuation of the first type card under condition that the second slider stays in the front original position and ejection of the first type card is performed by the first slider solely while the second slider back and forth moves relative to the housing between front original and rear actuated positions in the front-to-back direction by actuation of the second type card under condition that the first slider is also back and forth moveable relative to the housing simultaneously so as to perform ejection of the second type card.
