ABSTRACT:
A connector for an edge card which includes a plurality of contact terminals spaced apart in an elongated connector housing has at least one latch/eject mechanism rotatably disposed at an end of the connector housing. The latch/eject member operates between a first operative position wherein it latches the edge card in place within the connector housing and a second operative position wherein it at least partially ejects the edge card out of the connector housing. The latch/eject member is limited in its rotation during ejection of the edge card by one or more interference surfaces formed in the latch/eject member which engage a portion of the connector housing during ejection.
