Quick ejecting card connector

摘要

A quick ejecting card connector has an insulative housing, an auto ejecting assembly and a tray. The insulative housing has a cavity, a front opening and multiple terminals. The auto ejecting assembly is mounted on the insulative housing and has a locking lever, a resilient locking element and a resilient card ejecting element. The locking lever is mounted pivotally on the insulative housing and has a locking hook. The tray is mounted slidably in the cavity and has a locking hole selectively engaged with the locking hook of the locking lever to lock the completely inserted tray. When the locking hook of the lock lever is disengaged from the locking hole of the tray, the resilient card ejecting element ejects the tray and an electrical card thereon out of the front opening. The insertion and ejection of the tray and the electrical card are implemented without any assistant tools.

主权项

1. A quick ejecting card connector comprising:
an insulative housing having
a cavity defined in the insulative housing;a front opening defined in a front end of the insulative housing and communicating with the cavity; andmultiple terminals mounted on the insulative housing and extending in the cavity; an auto ejecting assembly mounted on the insulative housing and having
a locking lever mounted pivotally on the insulative housing and having a locking hook formed on and protruding laterally from the locking lever and selectively extending laterally in or moving laterally out of the cavity;a resilient locking element mounted on the insulative housing and pressing against and biasing the locking lever toward the cavity such that the locking hook extends in the cavity in a predetermined condition; anda resilient card ejecting element mounted on the insulative housing, extending in the cavity and located at an inner end of the cavity that is opposite to the front opening; and a tray mounted slidably in the cavity of the insulative housing through the front opening, selectively pressing against the resilient card ejecting element and having a locking hole defined laterally in one of two opposite sides of the tray and selectively engaged with the locking hook of the locking lever; wherein when the tray slides completely in the cavity of the insulative housing, the locking hook is engaged with the locking hole to securely lock the tray in the cavity; pivoting the locking lever disengages the locking hook from the locking hole, and the resilient card ejecting element ejects the tray.
