Abstract
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.
