ABSTRACT:
An electrical card connector (100) for electrically connecting with an electrical card (6) includes an insulator (1) defining a receiving space (14), a number of contacts (2) retained in the insulator, a pair of latching portions (45) and a shield (5) covering the insulator (1). The shield includes a pair of fingers (512) corresponding to the latching portions (45). Each finger defines a cantilever (5121) extending into the receiving space (14) and a latch member (5122) for engaging with the latching portion (45). When a complementary card is inserted into the connector, it abuts against the cantilever (5121) and lifts the latch member (5122) outwardly. The latch member (5122) disengages from the latching portion (45). The card is further inserted in the connector and electrically connects the contacts thereof.
