Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a card connector for allowing a card such as a SIM card or an external memory card to be mounted and removed in a mobile communication terminal.
The GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) mobile communication terminal, which is widely used in Europe and other countries around the world, is equipped with a subscriber identity module card (SIM CARD) This is possible. The SIM card also contains a microprocessor and a memory chip to store information (password, personal identification number, telephone number, personal information, etc.) necessary for operating the terminal. The SIM card is mounted on the card connector so as to be detachable from the main body of the terminal. The card connector is provided with a connection terminal. When the card connector is attached to the terminal while the SIM card is mounted on the card connector, the SIM card and the terminal are electrically connected through the connection terminal.
Meanwhile, it is necessary to mount or separate the SIM card in the terminal, and various methods are used for mounting and disassembling the SIM card. For example, a user can hold a SIM card, insert it with a physical force or detach it, or mount it on a terminal using a card connector on which the SIM card is mounted. Here, when the card connector is used, the insertion and removal of the SIM card is easy, and the risk of the SIM card being damaged during the insertion and removal of the SIM card can be reduced. However, since the height and size of the card connector must also be reduced as the mobile communication terminal becomes slimmer, it is difficult to attach and detach the card connector, and there is a lot of space restriction for attaching and detaching the card connector.
According to embodiments of the present invention, there is provided a card connector capable of fixing a card and a tray.
