ABSTRACT:
A smart card connector has a housing (11) formed by an insulative contact holder (12) and a sheet metal cover (14) that has an upper plate (46) lying above an upper face of the contact holder, to form a card-receiving cavity (30) between them. A wire spring (16) has a spiral wound planar main portion (141) that is mounted to lie on the upper surface of the sheet metal upper plate (46). The wire spring has a first end portion (144) fixed to the cover and has a second end portion (158) with a right angle bend (160) leading to a downwardly-extending ejection spring part (162). The ejection spring part extends though a slot (66) in the cover upper plate portion and into the cavity to lie in the path of the card leading edge.
