Abstract
The invention relates to an electrical card connector (hereinafter referred to as 'connector') which is used for a card C such as an IC card. The invention proposes a structure in which scratches are not formed on the surface of the card when the card C is inserted into the connector or when the card C is ejected from the connector. The connector has a body, a slider, and a cover. The slider is disposed so as to be slidable. The connector has a contact position regulating mechanism which, when the slider is in an initial position, retracts a contact to the outside of a card insertion space S1 and, when the slider reaches a pushed-in position, causes the contact to protrude into the card insertion space S1. When the slider is in the initial position, the contact position regulating mechanism causes the contact to be retracted to the outside of the card insertion space. When the slider is in the pushed position, the contact is caused to protrude into the card insertion space by the function of the contact position regulating mechanism.
