A card connector device includes a housing, a slider, a coil spring for urging the slider to an ejection direction of a small memory card, and an ejection mechanism for locking the slider at a loading position of the card and releasing a lock state of the slider when the card is once pushed into the depth from its loading position. A protrusion capable of engaging with and disengaging from a recess of the card is formed in the slider. The slider is allowed to rock in a direction in which the protrusion disengages from the recess at an ejection position of the card, and movement of the slider is restricted in a direction in which the protrusion does not disengage from the recess at the loading position of the card.

To provide a water-resistant pilot switch in which the shape of a shield member is simple, processibility of parts and workability in mounting the parts to a housing are good, cost cutting is possible, and the on precision of the switch in action can be improved. The water-resistant pilot switch comprises: a housing having a receiving section, a fixed contact provided in the receiving section, a movable contact rotatably provided and being brought into or out of contact with the fixed contact, a lever member rotating the movable contact in the direction of the fixed contact, a cover member having an insertion hole through which one end of the lever member protrudes outwardly from the receiving section and being provided on the receiving section of the housing to be engaged therewith, and a shield member shielding the insertion hole. The lever member is engaged with the insertion hole of the cover member in a rotatable manner, and the shield member is shaped like a ring to fit the rim of the insertion hole and is placed between the lever member and the cover member.
