Abstract
A card connector includes a main housing having a base portion, a pair of side walls and a bottom wall connecting with said base portion and side walls thereby defining a receiving cavity therebetween. A multiple groups of contact sets comprise contacting portions projecting into the receiving cavity. A metallic shell covers a top side of the main housing and defines an insertion opening together with the main housing at a front end thereof. A pair of guiders are floatably assembled on the bottom wall and respectively located beside the side walls. Each guider has a spring member disposed thereunder. A pair of locking devices are located at opposite sides of the insertion opening. Each locking device has a stopping section detachably supporting the guider under so as to prevent unmated card to be inserted. If an appropriate size card is inserted it will actuate the locking devices to cause the guiders to become deflectable by that card. If an inappropriate size card is inserted it will not actuate the locking devices and the guiders will undeflectable and will block that card.
