  The operation of the card connector 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 12 is a top view showing a state where the slider of the ejection mechanism is held at the card ejection position, with the cover member removed. FIG. 13 is a top view showing a state in which the slider of the ejection mechanism has passed the card mounting position and has reached the limit position in the insertion direction, with the cover member removed. FIG. 14 is a top view showing a state in which the slider of the ejection mechanism is held at the card mounting position, with the cover member removed.

  Before the card 20 is inserted into the housing 2, the slider 11 is held in the card ejection position by the heart-shaped cam mechanism 13 in the housing 2. When the card 20 is inserted into the card connector 1 in this state, the user first inserts the card 20 to a position where the front end of the card 20 contacts the front contact portion 11a of the slider 11 as shown in FIG. As a result, the bent portion 11c1 of the leaf spring 11c is inserted into the notch 22 of the card 20, and the movement of the card 20 in the ejection direction relative to the slider 11, that is, the movement of the card 20 in the ejection direction relative to the housing 2 is prevented. .

  Next, the user pushes the card 20 together with the slider 11 against the urging force of the coil spring 12, and causes the slider 11 to reach the limit position shown in FIG.

  Finally, the user stops pressing the card 20 in the insertion direction. Accordingly, the slider 11 is pushed back from the limit position to the card mounting position by the coil spring 12. At this time, the slider 11 is prevented from moving in the ejecting direction by the heart-shaped cam mechanism 13, that is, locked, and the mounting of the card 20 to the housing 2 is completed as shown in FIG.

  When taking out the card 20 from the card connector 1 in the state shown in FIG. 14, the user pushes the card 20 together with the slider 11 to the limit position. Thereby, the lock of the slider 11 by the heart-shaped cam mechanism 13 is released. Thereafter, the user stops pressing the card 20 in the insertion direction. Along with this, the slider 11 is pushed back together with the card 20 to the card discharge position by the coil spring 12, and the state shown in FIG. In this state, if the bent portion 11c1 of the leaf spring 11c is detached from the notch 22 of the card 20 by a release mechanism (not shown) and the card 20 is pulled from the housing 2 in the ejection direction, the card 20 can be removed from the housing 2. .

  According to the card connector 1 of the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

  According to the card connector 1, since the left side wall of the housing 2 is composed of the left side plate portion 4 d of the cover member 4, the width dimension of the housing 2 can be shortened.

  According to the card connector 1, the protrusion 4 f provided on the left side plate portion 4 d of the cover member 4 moves the left side plate portion 4 d away from the left side surface of the bottom plate portion 3 a of the housing body 3, and the cover member 4. Since the movement of the left side plate portion 4d in the direction in which the upper plate portion approaches the bottom plate portion of the housing main body 3, the strength against deformation of the housing 2 can be ensured.

  In the card connector 1, the movement of the left side plate portion 4 d of the cover member 4 in the direction in which the upper plate portion 4 a of the cover member 4 is brought close to the bottom plate portion 3 a of the housing body 3 is such that the first side portion 4 f 1 is engaged with the housing body 3. It is blocked by being caught on the first bottom surface (first locking portion) of the joint groove 3e. Further, when the left side plate portion 4d of the cover member 4 moves away from the left side surface of the bottom plate portion 3a of the housing body 3, the second side portion 4f2 is caught by the wall surface 3e3 (second locking portion) of the engagement groove 3e. To be prevented. Thereby, the movement of the left side plate portion 4d of the cover member 4 in the direction away from the left side surface of the bottom plate portion 3a of the housing body 3 and the cover in the direction in which the upper plate portion of the cover member 4 approaches the bottom plate portion 3a of the housing body 3 are performed. The protrusion 4f can reliably prevent the left side plate portion 4d of the member 4 from moving.

  The card connector 1 has restriction surfaces 3c and 3d for restricting movement of the card 20 in the thickness direction between the cover plate 4 and the upper plate portion 4a. And the protrusion part 4f is located in the thickness direction of the housing 2 away from the other surface of the card | curd 20 rather than those regulation surfaces 3c and 3d. Thereby, the movement of the card 20 in the thickness direction is regulated between the upper plate portion 4a of the cover member 4 and the regulating surfaces 3c, 3d, and the card 20 is inserted into the housing 2 and the card 20 is removed from the housing 2. It is possible to reliably prevent the protruding portion 4f from obstructing the movement of the card 20 in the housing 2 while making it possible to perform smoothly.

  In the card connector 1, the discharge mechanism 10 is adjacent to the right side plate portion 4 e of the cover member 4 forming the right side wall portion of the housing 2, so that the right side wall portion is provided on the housing body 3 and discharged. Compared to the case where the mechanism 10 and the right side plate portion 4e of the cover member 4 are interposed, the dimensional error between the discharge mechanism 10 and the card 20 can be easily reduced.

  In the card connector 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the protruding portion 4f provided on the cover member 4 has a first side portion 4f1 and a second side portion 4f2, and is bent as a whole. Although the engagement groove 3e for engaging the protruding portion 4f is provided in the bottom plate portion 3a of the main body 3, the engagement relationship between the protruding portion and the bottom plate portion in the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the protrusion may be a straight line that is inclined in a direction away from the cover member 4 from the outer side toward the inner side of the housing 2 and may be inserted into the left side surface of the bottom plate portion 3a.

  Further, in the card connector 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the protruding portion 4f is disposed at a position farther from the surface on the terminal 21 side of the card 20 than the regulating surfaces 3c and 3d in the thickness direction of the housing 2. However, the first side 4f1 of the protrusion 4f may be disposed at the same position as the regulating surfaces 3c and 3d in the thickness direction of the housing 2.
