Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention generally relates to a connector, and more particularly to a card connector.

2. The Related Art

A conventional card connector is adapted for being assembled in an electronic device which includes a circuit board and an enclosure, and being communicated between an electronic card and the circuit board of the electronic device. The enclosure defines an opening. The card connector includes an insulating housing, a plurality of conductive terminals received in the insulating housing for cooperating with the electronic card, an ejection mechanism disposed to one side of the insulating housing, a card tray for receiving the electronic card therein, and a shielding shell covered on the insulating housing to form an insertion space between the insulating housing and the shielding shell. The ejection mechanism includes a push rod and an executing element which is pushed against by the push rod. The card tray includes a base board with a receiving space being formed therein and a cover portion connecting with a front end of the base board. One side of the cover portion defines a through-hole. The card tray is slidably disposed to the insertion space of the card connector. The card connector is mounted to the circuit board of the electronic device.

When the electronic card needs to be inserted in the card connector, the electronic card is placed in the receiving space of the card tray, and then the card tray together with the electronic card is pushed into the insertion space of card connector through the opening. When the electronic card needs to be withdrawn from the card connector, the push rod passes through the through-hole of the cover portion of the card tray to push against the executing element to eject the card tray together with the electronic card out of the card connector.

However, the card connector is hardly to be mounted to the circuit board of the electronic device to a proper position that results in an outer surface of the cover portion of the card tray unable to be flush with an outer surface of the enclosure of the electronic device. Therefore, it seriously affects an appearance of the electronic device.

The card connector as claimed in claim 4, wherein a front end of one side of a top surface of the bottom wall of the insulating housing protrudes upward to form a first protruding block adjacent to the second side wall, one side of a rear surface of the first protruding block away from the second side wall protrudes rearward to form a second protruding block, the insulating housing defines two lying U-shaped fastening grooves of which one penetrates through a top surface, two portions of an outer surface and an inner surface of the rear end of the first side wall of the insulating housing, and the other one penetrates through a top surface, a rear surface and an inner side surface of the second protruding block, the elastic component has a fastening portion fastened to the fastening groove and a resilient portion arched forward and then extended rearward from a front end of the fastening portion to be fastened to the fastening groove, a middle of the resilient portion is arched outward to form an arc-shaped clamping portion projecting beyond the bottom wall of the insulating housing to be elastically received in the two cavities.

6. The card connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein two portions of a rear end of one side of a top surface of the bottom wall of the insulating housing are concaved downward to form a first guiding groove and a second guiding groove, the sliding block has an extending portion extended opposite to the blocking portion from a front end of the other side surface of the base body, a bottom surface of the extending portion protrudes downward to form a first guiding rib, one side of a bottom surface of the base body adjacent to the blocking portion protrudes downward to form a second guiding rib, the other side of the base body away from the blocking portion is slidably disposed on the bottom wall of the insulating housing with the first guiding rib being slidably disposed to the first guiding groove and the second guiding rib being slidably disposed to the second guiding groove.

7. The card connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the bottom wall of the insulating housing defines a guiding hole, a bottom surface of the pushing portion protrudes downward to form a guiding block, the guiding block is slidably disposed to the guiding hole.

8. The card connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the base board of the card tray defines a receiving space for receiving the electronic card therein.

9. The card connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein a front end of one side of a top surface of the bottom wall of the insulating housing protrudes upward to form a first protruding block adjacent to the second side wall, one side of the first protruding block adjacent to the second side wall defines a substantially heart-shaped tracking groove joined end to end, a front end of the base body of the sliding block defines a locating groove penetrating through a top and a front thereof, a bottom sidewall of the locating groove defines an insertion hole, one end of the guiding element is inserted into the insertion hole and the other end of the guiding element is slidably disposed in tracking groove.

10. The card connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the insulating housing defines two lying U-shaped fastening grooves of which one penetrates through a top surface, two portions of an outer surface and an inner surface of the rear end of the first side wall of the insulating housing, the card connector further includes two elastic components and a switch terminal, the switch terminal is disposed to an inner side of the fastening groove which is defined in the first side wall of the insulating housing, one elastic component is disposed to the fastening groove which is defined in the first side wall of the insulating housing to contact or depart from the switch terminal.
