ABSTRACT:
A connector is provided to reduce the risk of erroneous ejection of a card from a card connector during use thereof. A stopper member is rotatably mounted on a knob of an ejecting mechanism. The stopper member is urged in the counterclockwise direction by a spring. When the knob protrudes in a state in which the card is not inserted in the connector, the stopper member, urged by the spring, exits a slot of the knob, rotates about a pin, and a rear end of the stopper member enters a card receiving slot. Accordingly, a card cannot be inserted into the card receiving slot3due to the protrusion of the stopper member into the card receiving slot.
