Abstract: A connector includes a housing for insertion and ejection of a device, and an ejection mechanism. The ejection mechanism includes a rod member able to slide in the directions of device insertion and ejection. The rod member includes a main body portion extending in the directions of insertion and ejection, an operating piece connected to a protruding end of the main body portion protruding from the housing and extending in a direction intersecting the insert and ejection directions, and a reinforcing portion connected to the main body portion in front of the protruding end in the insertion direction and able to support the operating piece from the front in the insertion direction. The reinforcing portion includes a supporting end able to support the operating piece from the front in the insertion direction. The supporting end extends in a direction intersecting the length direction of the operating piece.

Abstract: A card connector has an inserted card module including electrode pads provided on one surface. The card connector includes a housing provided with connection terminals arranged so as to contact the electrode pads of the card module. The card connector includes a holding spring portion for holding a card module inserted into the card connector. The card connector includes an ejection mechanism able to change orientation between a first orientation and a second orientation. The ejection mechanism has the first orientation before a card module is inserted into the card connector, and the second orientation after a card module has been completely inserted into the card connector. The holding spring portion is displaceable when the ejection mechanism is in the first orientation, and non-displaceable when the ejection mechanism is in the second orientation.

Abstract: Comprised are a sliding member for retaining a card and sliding in the forward/backward direction of a housing, and a locking member for sliding in the widthwise direction of the housing and locking the card received within the housing, the locking member comprising a sliding control part for controlling the sliding of the sliding member, the sliding control part preventing the sliding member from sliding when the locking member is in a first position, and allowing the sliding member to slide when the locking member is in a second position.

Abstract: The Present Disclosure discloses a card tray including a top panel portion facing the opposite face of a card having terminal members on one face, a front panel portion standing erect at the front edge of the top panel portion and facing the front end of the card, and a rear panel portion standing erect at the rear edge of the top panel portion and facing the rear end of the card. The card tray further includes a notch portion formed in the front panel portion so as to expose at least a portion of the front end of the card, and a card holding spring portion disposed near the rear panel portion, biasing the card forward and applying pressure to the front end of the card in a portion other than the notch portion of the front panel portion. The card is grasped longitudinally to expose the entire face of the card on the terminal member side.

Abstract: The housing has a guide rail protruding from the upper face of the bottom wall portion and extending towards the rear end portion. The guide rail includes a wide portion near the front end portion and a narrow portion near the rear end portion being narrower in width than the wide portion. The sliding portion has a recessed guide groove slidably engaging the guide rail. The guide groove engages the wide portion when the card-type unit is in the locked position and engages the narrow portion instead of the wide portion when the card-type unit is in the ejection position.

Abstract: A rear side connection terminal arranged along the back end edge of a housing is provided with a base part in which at least a portion is embedded in a bottom wall part of the housing, a contact arm part in a cantilever shape in which a tip end extends slanted upwards towards a front end of the housing, a contact part that is connected to a tip end of the contact arm part and that contacts with a terminal member of the card, and a contact arm support part that includes a curved part that projects rearward with a bottom side front end coupled to a back end of the base part and a top side front end coupled to a back end of the contact arm part.

Abstract: A slide member includes a side edge holding part, which extends towards the front end edge of the housing, and a front end holding part, which is connected to the front end of the side edge holding part and extends in the transverse direction of the housing. The slide member is able to slide forward and backward along one side edge of the bottom wall part of the housing. The housing contains a mistaken insertion prevention convex part which the front end or rear end of a mistakenly inserted card contacts.
