ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a connector equipped with an improved ejection mechanism wherein the ejection mechanism includes an ejection rod and a push button directly mounted to the end of the ejection rod for movement between an operative and an inoperative position. The ejection rod has a rectangular flat head formed at one end thereof, and the push button has a corresponding head-retaining space formed therein for receiving the rectangular flat head of the ejection rod. The head-retaining space forms a generally L-shaped slot and includes a first head-holding section extending in a direction generally along the longitudinal dimension of the push button, and a second head-holding section extending generally perpendicular to the first head-holding section.
The push button is in its operative position when the head of the ejection rod is in the first head-holding section, and the push button is in its inoperative position when the head of the ejection rod is in the second head-holding section. The push button may further include a resilient section adjacent to the head-retaining space adapted to apply a resilient force to the head of the ejection rod during movement of the push button between its operative and inoperative positions.
