Card connector having an actuator engaging a locking element

摘要

A card connector includes a tray having a side wall and a breach region formed on the side wall, a main body including a front opening for inserting the tray and a side portion defining a side of the front opening, a plurality of terminals attached to the main body, and a detective switch including a spring member that is attached to the side portion of the main body and includes a press portion configured to extend into the card-holding space of the tray through the breach region of the tray when the tray is inserted in the main body. A card connector can include a card locking element, and a card ejecting mechanism. The card ejecting mechanism can comprise an actuator movable between an outward position and an inward position and a levering member.

主权项

1. A card connector, comprising:
a main body having a receiving space; a plurality of terminals attached to the main body; a card locking element including a locking portion configured to be located in the receiving space when the card locking element is in a locking position, an operating portion, and a first interacting portion; and a card ejecting mechanism comprising: an actuator movable between an outward position and an inward position, having a second interacting portion configured to engage with the first interacting portion for linked movement of the card locking element and the actuator; and a levering member pivoted adjacent the rear of the receiving space, including a first arm part and a second arm part, the second arm part having a second end section extending adjacent to the operating portion of the card locking element, the first arm part having a first end portion that can be swung into the receiving space when the second end section is pushed by the operating portion of the card locking element; wherein the first and second interacting portions allow the linear movement of the card locking element between the locking position and an unlocking position simultaneous with the movement of the actuator between the outward position and the inward position.
