Abstract: A card connector which prevents a card from popping out when the card is discharged and is not easily broken. The card connector includes a base having a slot into which a card can be inserted, a slider which is provided at a position in the base to be abuttable on the card and which can be caused to slide, a spring forcing the slider in the discharging direction of the card, and a lock spring including a plate spring having a tip end engageable with an engagement recess of the card and a base end mounted on the slider. The tip end can be displaced in a direction away from the card, and base is provided with a first rib which abuts on the tip end of the lock spring to prevent the tip end from being displaced when the slider is positioned at the card pop-out preventing position.
