ABSTRACT:
An ejector mechanism for a card connector (1) is disclosed. The connector has an elongate housing (101) fixedly receiving a number of contacts (11). The housing has a bottom face for proximity to a PCB (3) on which the connector is mounted and a top face. The connector further includes a lower shielding (15) fixed to the bottom face, an upper shielding (13) fixed to the top face and a guiding frame (12) fixed to lateral ends of the housing for guiding a card into/out of the connector. The ejector mechanism has a push-rod reciprocally mounted on the guiding frame. The push-rod has a distal end (1211) with an L-shaped configuration defining a hole (1214) between a horizontal section (1213) and a vertical section (1212) thereof and a proximal end (1221) for receiving a push force. An ejector lever 1120 is pivotably mounted on the lower shielding member and has a force-receiving end (1121) bent away from the lower shielding member into the hole in the distal end of the push-rod. An ejector plate (1110) is reciprocally mounted on the ejector lever and drivably connected therewith whereby when the ejector lever is pivoted by pushing the proximal end of the push-rod toward the housing, the ejector plate moves away from the housing to eject a card inserted into the card connector.
