ABSTRACT:
An ejector-equipped card connector is disclosed, which is of small thickness and simple but reliable construction, and which avoids tilting and twisting of the memory card as it is ejected. The card connector includes a lever (8, FIG. 2) with a middle pivotally mounted (at 120) on the connector housing and a first end coupled to an eject button (21) which pivots the lever. The lever has a second end (124) coupled to a moveable plate (7) with pushouts (14) at its rear end for engaging the rear end of the card (5) to eject it. The second end of the lever has an hourglass-shaped aperture (10), and the moveable plate (7) has a downwardly bent claw (11) that projects into the hourglass aperture, so the convex surfaces of the aperture can push the moveable plate forwardly and rearwardly. The moveable plate has a slot forming a leaf spring (12) extending at an upward incline to contact the lower surface of the card to ground it. Electrically conductive grounding members (27) are mounted in the housing and biased upwardly against the bottom of the moveable plate to ground it. The middle of the lever is downwardly-depressed to form a shaft (20) that is pivotally mounted in a hole in a fixed base plate (1) of the housing, the lever middle having a pair of holddown projections (25, 26) holding the middle of the lever down to the base plate.
