  • Patent number: 8734188
    Abstract: A card connector (100) includes an insulative housing (10), a number of contacts (30) retained in the insulative housing, a metal shell (20) attached to the insulative housing for cooperatively defining a receiving space (60), and a tray (40) received in the receiving space. The metal shell includes a pair of elastic portions (24). The tray has a frame portion (41) having two lateral edges. Each lateral edge has a notch (410) securing with the corresponding elastic portion when the tray is fully inserted in the receiving space along an insertion/ejection direction and an inclined surface (414) on which the elastic portions bias to slow down ejection of the tray.
