Abstract
A card connector includes an insulating housing, a detection terminal unit, and a shielding shell. The insulating housing defines a channel at a rear portion of a first side wall thereof. The detection terminal unit is mounted to the first side wall of the insulating housing and includes a contact terminal and a detection terminal. The contact terminal has a first elastic portion located in the channel and a contact portion formed at a free end of the first elastic portion. The detection terminal has a second elastic portion located inside of the contact terminal and a detection portion formed at a free end of the second elastic portion. When an electronic card is fully inserted into the card connector, the electronic card presses against the detection portion of the detection terminal and makes the detection portion deflect outwardly to electrically contact with the contact portion of the contact terminal.
