また、このカードコネクタ４０においては、図９に示すように、収容体挿入部４２の収容体挿入方向奥側部に操作側スイッチコンタクト７０及び***作側スイッチコンタクト７１からなるタイミングスイッチを備え、操作側スイッチコンタクト７０がカード露出部６２を通してカードＣの縁部と接触することにより***作側スイッチコンタクト７１と接触又は離反することによりタイミングスイッチのオン・オフ動作の切り替えがなされるようになっている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the card connector 40 includes a timing switch including an operation side switch contact 70 and an operated side switch contact 71 on the inner side of the container insertion portion 42 in the container insertion direction. When the side switch contact 70 comes into contact with the edge of the card C through the card exposed portion 62, the timing switch is turned on and off by contacting or separating from the operated switch contact 71. .

操作側スイッチコンタクト７０は、導電性金属材を打ち抜き・折り曲げ加工することにより形成され、モールドケース４５の奥側壁部４５ａに固定されたコネクタ幅方向に向けた支持部７０ａと、支持部７０ａの一端よりカードＣ体挿抜方向手前側に向けて傾斜した形状の可動接触片部７０ｂと、可動接触片部７０ｂの先端より収容体引き出し方向に向けて膨出した形状の操作片部７０ｃと、支持部７０ａの下縁よりカードＣ体挿入方向側に折り曲げた形状の接続端子部７０ｄとを一体に備え、接続端子部７０ｄがプリント配線基板に形成された接続パターンに半田付けされるようになっている。   The operation-side switch contact 70 is formed by punching and bending a conductive metal material, and is fixed to the back side wall portion 45a of the mold case 45. The support portion 70a faces in the connector width direction, and one end of the support portion 70a. A movable contact piece 70b having a shape inclined toward the front side of the card C body insertion / extraction direction, an operation piece 70c having a shape bulging from the front end of the movable contact piece 70b toward the container pulling direction, and a support portion A connection terminal portion 70d having a shape bent from the lower edge of 70a toward the card C body insertion direction is integrally provided, and the connection terminal portion 70d is soldered to a connection pattern formed on a printed wiring board. .

***作側スイッチコンタクト７１は、導電性金属材を打ち抜き・折り曲げ加工することにより形成され、細長板状の固定接点部７１ａと、固定接点部７１ａの下縁より折り曲げた形状の接地用端子部７１ｂとを備え、固定接点部７１ａが操作側スイッチコンタクト７０と対向配置にモールドケース４５の奥側壁部に固定されるとともに、接地用端子部７１ｂを介してアース接続されるようになっている。   The switch switch 71 on the operated side is formed by punching and bending a conductive metal material, and has an elongated plate-like fixed contact portion 71a and a grounding terminal portion 71b bent from the lower edge of the fixed contact portion 71a. The fixed contact portion 71a is fixed to the back side wall portion of the mold case 45 so as to face the operation side switch contact 70, and is connected to the ground via the grounding terminal portion 71b.

このタイミングスイッチは、収容体挿入部４２にカード収容体４１が挿入された場合、カード露出部６２を通して操作片部７０ｃがカードＣの挿入方向奥側縁部に直接接触して押圧され、それに連動して可動接触片部７０ｂが回動して***作側スイッチコンタクト７１の固定接点部７１ａより離反してオフ状態となり、収容体挿入部４２よりカード収容体４１が引き出されると、可動接触片部７０ｂが弾性復帰して固定接点端部と接触してオン状態となるようになっている。   When the card container 41 is inserted into the container insertion portion 42, this timing switch is pressed by the operation piece portion 70c being directly in contact with the inner edge in the insertion direction of the card C through the card exposure portion 62, and interlocked with it. Then, when the movable contact piece 70b is rotated to be separated from the fixed contact portion 71a of the operated switch contact 71 and is turned off, and the card accommodating body 41 is pulled out from the accommodating body insertion portion 42, the movable contact piece portion is obtained. 70b is elastically restored and comes into contact with the fixed contact end portion to be turned on.

このように構成されたカードコネクタ４０においては、カード収容体４１をハウジング４３より引抜いた状態にあっては、弾性押圧部材６１によりカードＣが前の内壁部５１側に押圧され、内壁部５１と弾性押圧部材６１とに挟持されるので、一定の保持力を以てカードＣが保持され、挿抜動作時にカードＣがカード収容体４１より脱落するのを防止することができる。   In the card connector 40 configured as described above, when the card container 41 is pulled out from the housing 43, the card C is pressed toward the front inner wall 51 by the elastic pressing member 61, and the inner wall 51 Since the card C is held by the elastic pressing member 61, the card C is held with a certain holding force, and the card C can be prevented from dropping from the card container 41 during the insertion / extraction operation.

一方、カードＣを収容した状態でカード収容体４１をハウジング４３に挿入させると、カード露出部６２を通して、収容体挿入部４２内に突出させた操作片部７０ｃがカードＣの挿入方向奥側縁部に押圧され、それに連動して可動接触片部７０ｂが回動して***作側スイッチコンタクト７１の固定接点部７１ａより離反してオフ状態となる。   On the other hand, when the card container 41 is inserted into the housing 43 in a state in which the card C is accommodated, the operation piece part 70c that protrudes into the container insertion part 42 through the card exposure part 62 is the inner edge in the insertion direction of the card C. The movable contact piece 70b is rotated in conjunction with this, and is moved away from the fixed contact portion 71a of the operated switch contact 71 to be turned off.

その際、カード収容部５５内でカードＣは、弾性押圧部材１９で収容体挿入方向に向けて付勢されているので、常に一定の接触圧で接触するようになっている。   At that time, since the card C is urged toward the container insertion direction by the elastic pressing member 19 in the card housing portion 55, it always comes into contact with a constant contact pressure.

これにより、操作側スイッチコンタクト７０の撓み量を最小とすることができるので、ばねスパンを短くでき、その分操作側スイッチコンタクト７０の外形を小型化できるので、コネクタの小型化を図ることができる。   As a result, the bending amount of the operation side switch contact 70 can be minimized, so that the spring span can be shortened, and the outer shape of the operation side switch contact 70 can be reduced accordingly, so that the connector can be reduced in size. .

尚、上述の実施例では、カード収容体としてカードトレイを例に説明したが、カード収容体は、小型ＩＣカードを定型のＩＣカードの形状に適合させるためのカードアダプターであってもよい。   In the above-described embodiment, the card tray is described as an example of the card container. However, the card container may be a card adapter for adapting the small IC card to the shape of the standard IC card.
