Card connector

A card connector for electrically connecting a card and a circuit board, the card connector comprising:

• an insulating housing has a bottom wall, a rear wall and a side wall, a rear of the bottom wall defining a receiving groove extending to the rear wall, the side wall defining a sliding slot;
• a plurality of electrical terminals fixed in the insulating housing;
• a group of switch terminals including a detecting terminal and a grounding terminal which are fixed to a rear of the insulating housing and electrically connected to the circuit board, respectively, the detecting terminal having a horizontal first fixed portion, a resisting portion extended from the first fixed portion and close to the side wall and located in the receiving groove, the grounding terminal having a perpendicular second fixed portion, a flexing portion extending from the second fixed portion, and a connecting portion extending towards the side wall from a free end of the flexing portion, a bottom of the connecting portion connecting an extending plate extending towards the side wall, a rear edge of an outside of the extending plate being beyond the connecting portion, the flexing portion, the connecting portion and the extending plate located in the receiving groove;
• and
• an ejector mechanism mounted in the sliding slot of the side wall, the ejector mechanism including a sliding block, an inside of a rear end of the sliding block having a pushing portion,
• wherein the card first pushes the pushing portion rearward to press on an outside of the extending plate of the grounding terminal, then the card pushes the connecting portion and the pushing portion rearward simultaneously to ensure the extending plate always being pressed by the pushing portion when the grounding terminal is pushed rearward, when the card is fully inserted in the card connector, the extending plate is against the contact portion.
