First Claim
1. A card connector comprising:
- a housing having a tongue provided on a side thereof;
a base mounted in said housing;
a plurality of terminals mounted in said housing;
a slidable member mounted in said housing for reciprocating movement, said slidable member having a recession formed on a sidewall thereof corresponding to said tongue, and an opening cut through said sidewall and in communication with said recession, said recession having a first matching portion;
a hooked member mounted in said recession and having a second matching portion for joint with said first matching portion of said recession; and
a spring mounted in said housing;
wherein said housing, said base, and said slidable member define a receiving chamber thereamong for receiving a memory card, said memory card having a locating recess at a side thereof, said base is located at a rear end of said receiving chamber, and said slidable member is movable for reciprocation within said receiving chamber, whereby while the memory card is pushed to drive said slidable member to move toward said base, said tongue forces said hooked member to act in said recession;
while the memory card is inserted, said hooked member dips through said opening of said sidewall of said slidable member into said locating recess of the memory card located in said receiving chamber.

Abstract
A card connector includes a housing, a base, a slidable member, three of which are provided in the base and define a receiving chamber for receiving a memory card thereamong, and a spring. A tongue is provided on a sidewall of the housing. The memory card has a locating recess formed at one side thereof corresponding to the tongue. The slidable member includes a recession formed on a sidewall thereof corresponding to the tongue, and an opening cut through the sidewall and in communication with the recession. A hooked member is provided in the recession. The recession is provided with a first matching portion, and the hooked member has a second matching portion for joint with the first matching portion. Therefore, the card connector is structurally simple, of secure locking, and can effectively engage and prevent an electronic card inserted therein from falling-off.
