Is shaped so that it can be assembled into the block accommodating portion 45d of the frame members 40, 40 without a gap.

[0024]

However, when a strong impact is applied to the card in the card fitting direction, the lever bent portion 53 of the lever 50 is pushed by the card 3 and hits the wall surface of one frame block portion 45g. Since the force is transmitted to the connector 10, there is a problem that the connector component 10 is destroyed and the circuit pattern of the substrate 90 is also peeled off.

Therefore, when the connector component 10 mounted on the board 90 is repaired, the connector component 10 is repaired.
There is a problem that the board 90 must be replaced together with the replacement.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a card connector which can prevent the destruction of connector parts and the peeling of the circuit pattern of the board, and does not require the replacement of the board.

[0029]

According to the card connector of the present invention, when the card is pushed in along the frame member, the contact comes into contact with the mating contact of the card and is in a fitted state. To remove the card from the state in which the card is fitted, push the button member in the fitting direction. At this time, since the eject bar also moves in the fitting direction, the lever is pushed in the fitting direction by the eject bar. Then, the lever rotates about the shaft portion to push out the card in the fitted state in the detaching direction, and the card is detached with the contact contact portion and the mating contact being in the non-contact state.

After the assembly, the screws are screwed into the screw holes from the back side of the board, the positioning plate is removed, and the attachment to the board is completed. The block part of the insulator is
Since it is made smaller than the block receiving portion of the frame member, the frame member does not contact any part of the connector component.

After mounting the connector part on the board, by removing the positioning plate, the frame member has no place to touch the connector part. Therefore, when a strong shock is applied to the card in the card fitting direction, the lever member is removed. Even if is pressed by the card and hits the wall surface of the frame block, the force is received by the screw. Since there is a gap between the frame member and the connector component, even if the force acts on the frame member, the force is not transmitted to the connector component.
