Abstract: A method of manufacturing a metal shield of an electrical connector comprises following steps: (a) stamping step to stamp a metal carrier continuously to form a framework having an underside and sidewall; (b) cutting step to cut the underside of the framework out and form a thin edge at the bottom of the sidewall; (c) trimming step to prune the thin edge of sidewall; (d) shaping step to stamp the framework continuously with a punch having chamfers.

Abstract: An electrical card connector (5) includes a shell (1), an insulative body (2) covered by the shell, a plurality of terminals (3) received in the body, and a card ejection mechanism (4) mounted in the body. The card ejection mechanism includes a slide block (40), an elastic element (42), a push bar (44), and an elastic piece (46). When an electrical card (6) is inserted into the connector, the slide block is pushed inwardly until it is engaged by the elastic piece. The card is thus securely retained in the connector, with the elastic element being compressed. To eject the card, the push bar is manually pushed inwardly. The push bar gradually forces the elastic piece away from the slide block. The elastic element decompresses, pushing the slide block back out.
