A card connector in a U shape for receiving a card in a slot of the U shape and electrically connecting a connector portion provided in a bridging portion of the U shape with a mating connector portion of the card, has an ejector for ejecting the card from a connecting condition between the connector portion and the mating connector portion. The ejector comprises an eject plate slidably mounted on the card connector and having engaging fingers for pushing the card. A lever is rotatably mounted on the bridging portion and is engaged with the eject plate to permit the eject plate to rotate relatively to the lever so that rotation of the lever makes the eject plate slide to push the card by the fingers. The eject plate and the lever have a stopper which, upon further rotation of the lever, preventing further relative rotation of the eject plate to cause rotation of the eject plate together with the lever so that the card is further moved so as to insure the complete ejection of the card.
