The present invention relates to a card connector, and more specifically, to a card connector with an ejection mechanism of a push-push type. In the card connector of the invention, it is easy to insert a card.
Patent Reference has disclosed a conventional card connector with an ejection mechanism of a push-push type. In such a card connector, a tray is disposed to eject outside the card connector for covering a bottom surface and side surfaces of a card, so that the card is inserted into the card connector. When the card is removed from the card connector, the tray is ejected again. Accordingly, a mechanism for ejecting the tray determines how easy a card can be inserted into the card connector.

In another type of conventional connector, instead of the tray, an ejector having a plate portion is used. In order to reduce a size of a card connector, the ejector is arranged to slide inside the card connector with a card mounted thereon, thereby not being ejected outside the card connector. Accordingly, in order to easily insert the card into the card connector, it is necessary to provide a large insertion opening for inserting the card.
In view of the problems described above, an object of the present invention is to provide a card connector with an ejection mechanism capable of solving the problems in the conventional card connectors.
Further objects will be apparent from the following description of the invention.
