Abstract
In a card connector having a push-push type eject mechanism, a cam lever is retained by a cam lever retaining member made from a cantilevered leaf spring, which in turn is retained by a leaf spring formed in a metal cover. The metal cover along with the housing forms a card accommodating portion. The cam lever is therefore doubly retained by the cam lever retaining member and the leaf spring and thus prevented against coming off. This arrangement also enhances a clicking feel of the eject mechanism during the insertion and ejection of the card.
