Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004003837A2] A stop mechanism is disclosed for selectively restricting insertion of a card into a card slot of a card connector. The stop mechanism is positioned in the card slot along a path of insertion of the card into the card slot. A card having a thickness less than a predetermined thickness engages a stop portion of the stop mechanism when inserted into the card slot, preventing further insertion of the card past the stop mechanism. A card having a thickness greater than the predetermined thickness contacts an engagement portion of the stop mechanism when inserted into the card slot, producing a movement of the stop mechanism out of the path of card insertion.
