ABSTRACT:
An Integrated Circuit (IC) card connector includes a housing member, an ejection mechanism, and a plurality of braking pieces. The housing member includes an accommodation portion for selectively accommodating an IC card. When the ejection mechanism ejects the IC card from the accommodation portion, an end of at least one of the plurality of braking pieces contacts a movable part of the ejection mechanism. After contacting the movable part of the ejection mechanism, the end of the at least one braking piece retreats. Thus, the braking piece decelerates the ejection speed of the IC card and avoids the undesirable jumping-out of the IC card. Embodiments consistent with the invention may also include an improper insertion piece provided in the housing member.
