ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a card connector, and more particularly to a card connector having a function of half-locking a card100such as a memory card inserted into a card insertion space of a case1, in an extractable state. The invention provides a card connector which exhibits an excellent half-lock performance for a long term, and which, in a card-set state, exhibits an enhanced half-lock performance.In the card connector of the invention, a slider3is attached to the case1in a longitudinally movable manner, and the slider3is always elastically urged in the card ejecting direction. A half-lock mechanism5which engagingly holds the card in an extractable manner is disposed on the slider3. The half-lock mechanism5is formed with being divided into: a movable piece52which is configured by a resin-molded member, and which has an engaging projection51that engagingly holds the card100in an extractable manner; and a metal-made-spring member55which elastically urges the movable piece52in the direction along which the engaging projection51is to be fitted into a recess110of the card100. The card connector further has an auxiliary spring member70which, when the slider3is at the pushed position, increases the elastic force of the spring member55.
