Card connector
A card connector includes a housing that houses a card provided with a terminal member, a connection terminal that attaches to the housing and contacts the terminal member of the card, a cover member that attaches to the housing and forms a card housing space between the housing, wherein the cover member is provided with a locking member to lock the card housed within the card housing space; the locking member is a leaf spring member with a cantilever form, and provides a locking main body part integrally connected to the cover member and which extends in the insertion direction of the card, and a locking ridged part connected to the tip of the locking main body part, and which protrudes inward toward the cover member; and the locking ridged part inserts into a recessed part formed on the edge of the card housed in the card housing space.
1. A card connector, the card connector comprising:
a housing, the housing adapted to house a card, the card including a terminal member;
a connection terminal, the connection terminal being attached to the housing and contacting the terminal member; and
a cover member, the cover member being attached to the housing and forming a card housing space, the cover member including a locking member, the locking member being adapted to lock the card housed within the card housing space, the locking member being a leaf spring member and having a cantilever form, the locking member including a locking main body part, a locking ridged part and an operating part, the locking main body part being integrally connected to the cover member and extending in the insertion direction of the card, the locking ridged part being connected to the tip of the locking main body part and protruding inward toward the cover member, the locking ridged part being inserted into a recessed part, the recessed part being formed on the edge of the card housed in the card housing space, the operating part being connected to the tip of the locking ridged part, a part of the operating part protruding more outward than the locking body main part and the locking ridged part.
2. The card connector of claim 1 , wherein the locking ridged part includes a latching part, the latching part extending in a direction orthogonal to the insertion direction of the card.
3. The card connector of claim 2 , wherein the latching part opposes a surface near the front end of the card in the recessed part.
4. The card connector of claim 3 , wherein the surface near the front end of the card in the recessed part extends in a direction orthogonal to the card edge.
5. The card connector of claim 2 , wherein the locking member is formed on a side panel part of the cover member.
6. The card connector of claim 5 , wherein the locking main body part and locking ridged part are flush with the side panel part.
7. The card connector of claim 2 , wherein the locking member is formed on the top panel part of the cover member.
8. The card connector of claim 7 , wherein the locking main body part and the locking ridged part are flush with the top panel.
9. The card connector of claim 3 , wherein the locking member is formed on a side panel part of the cover member.
