カード用コネクタ

Japanese Patent JP5047036

B2

A card connector comprises has: a connector housing (2) constituted of electrical insulation, which is arranged to house cards inside a bottomed card holding cavity, which is formed therein so as to be enclosed on three sides by an opposed pair of first and second frames and a third frame that links the end portions of the first and second frames, and so as to be open at the front and top; contact terminals (5, 6) which are disposed inside the connector housing's card holding cavity; and an open-close cover (3) that covers the open portions of the connector housing's card holding cavity. The open-close cover has a sensing member that senses the installation status of the card, and a cover locking mechanism that latches onto either the first or the second frame and locks the open-close cover in the closed state. The rear of the open-close cover is rotatably pivoted on the first and second frames, and moreover is fixed to the first and second frames so as to be horizontally movable. After a card is installed inside the card holding cavity, the card's installation status is sensed by closing the open-close cover and positioning the sensing member at the rear end portion of the card; and the open-close cover is retracted, being thereby locked in the closed state via the cover locking mechanism. As a result, a card connector is provided from which cards will be less likely to accidentally drop out once installed.
