Abstract

A card connector assembly for receiving a card member is provided with an eject device wherein the eject device is assembled directly onto the support frame of the card connector assembly to thereby reduce the number of components, the number of assembly steps and the resultant manufacturing costs of the connector assembly. The card connector assembly comprises a card guide portion (5a), a connector portion (9) to be connected to the card member, a support frame (3) continuous with both the card guide portion and the connector portion and an eject device (2). The eject device (2) comprises a slide member (22) slidably movable along the support frame (3), a movable lever (35) operating in accordance with movement of the slide member (22) for moving the card in a direction away from the card connector (7), and a cam mechanism (10) for defining the sliding range of the slide member (22). A part of the cam mechanism (10) is provided directly in the support frame (3).
