ABSTRACT:
A connector device in which a push rod can be locked in a predetermined approach position when an IC card is connected. The structure of an ejection mechanism is simplified, and the number of parts is reduced and assembling operability is improved. The push rod is held so as to reciprocate movably while constantly biased in an IC-card ejection direction, outside of a frame to guide insertion/removal of the IC card. A transmission pin attached to the push rod is engaged with a heart-shaped cam groove provided in an outer side surface of the frame. The transmission pin is constantly biased by a spring force of an elastic piece integrated with the push rod toward the cam groove. When the IC card is inserted, as an operation member of the transmission pin is held in the cam groove, the push rod is locked in the predetermined approach position. When the push rod, lock-released and projected, is pushed to the approach position, the transmission pin drives a driving plate entering the cam groove, to eject the IC card via an eject arm.
