  • Publication number: 20250071923
    Abstract: A card edge connector includes: a connector base having a card slot and plural terminals; a latch located at one end of the connector base for locking a card; and a releasing member. The releasing member includes two levers and a moving member, the levers are connected with the connector base in a pivoting manner, a first end of the lever is connected with the latch and an opposite second end of the lever is coupled to the moving member, wherein when the card is inserted into the slot and presses against the moving member downwards, the moving member drives the second ends of the levers to move downward, resulting in the first ends moving upwards to push the latch to lock with the card, and when the card is pulled out the moving member resets and drives the levers to release the latch from the card.
