  • Patent number: 9246249
    Abstract: A card connector includes an insulating housing, signal terminals disposed in the insulating housing, a shell worn around the insulating housing, a tray with a platform being protruded on a top face thereof, and an ejector pivoted on a top plate of the shell and rotatably paralleling to the top plate. The tray is slidably disposed between the insulating housing and the top plate of the shell along a front-to-rear direction and defines two card slots arranged side-by-side at two sides thereof. One end of the ejector has a pushing portion projecting sideward beyond one side plate of the shell, and the other end of the ejector protrudes forward to form an ejecting portion which resists against the back of the platform for pushing the tray to slide frontward out of the card connector by pushing the pushing portion rearward to drive the ejector to clockwise rotate.

  • Patent number: 8822855
    Abstract: A card connector includes an insulating housing having two side walls of which an inside defines an inserting fillister, electrical terminals including a switch terminal which has a first contact arm and a first contact tail protruding from a free end of the first contact arm, and an upper shielding shell covered on the insulating housing and having two side plates of which one is die-cut to form a connecting slice inserted in the inserting fillister. A bottom of the connecting slice is bent inward to form a ground slice. The card connector utilizes the cooperation of a controlling switch of an electronic card and the first contact arm to control connection and disconnection between the first contact tail and the ground slice so as to further control a write procedure of the electronic card, wherein the controlling switch is movable between a closed position and an open position.
