Card connector

Abstract

The invention provides a card connector capable of preventing a card such an SIM card from being inserted along the wrong direction. The card connector comprises a sliding body (8) capable of moving in a housing (1), a reset spring (9) for applying the force to the sliding body along the push-out direction, and a locking mechanism for limiting the movement of the sliding body along the preset push-in position, wherein the locking mechanism comprises a rotation stopper (10) rotatably supported on the housing (1), and a locking pin (11) supported on the rotation stopper (10) on one end and provided with a limiting part (14) on another end to limit the movement of the sliding body by being fastened with the sliding body and the limiting part (14) and the rotation of the rotation stopper (10) are switched to the position for limiting the movement of the sliding body (8) and the position for releasing the limit in a linkage way, and the locking mechanism comprises an error insert prevention component capable of preventing the rotation stopper (10) from rotating to the movement limit position side when the card is inserted along the wrong direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a card connector for connecting a card such as an IC card and / or a SIM card to a board, and more particularly to a card connector capable of preventing wrong insertion of a card. Background technique [0002] In the past, in this kind of card connector, an insertion direction confirmation cutout in the shape of a cutout with an inclined edge is provided on one side edge of the card end of the IC card and / or SIM card, etc., and its position can be recognized visually. to confirm the insertion direction with respect to the connector housing (for example, Patent Document 1). [0003] Patent Document 1: JP-A-2006-309967 [0004] However, in the above-mentioned prior art, the insertion direction of the card is only confirmed by visual recognition, so there is a problem that the wrong insertion cannot be detected mechanically, and the card can be inserted even in the wrong direction. Relying on vision then not being able to...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the above-mentioned prior art, the insertion direction of the card is only confirmed by visual recognition, so there is a problem that the wrong insertion cannot be detected mechanically, and the card can be inserted even in the wrong direction. Relying on the vision and not being able to insert the card into the case and using poor performance

[0005] In addition, there is a problem that the card is inserted into the case in the wrong direction and is held in the case, which may cause damage and / or failure such as malfunction.
