ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a connector equipped with an ejection mechanism which can be assembled relatively easily, and which can be manufactured inexpensively. Connector (10) equipped with an ejection mechanism has a housing (20), which supports electrical contacts (15), and card-ejection members (50), which are attached so that they can pivot relative to the housing. Slots (72), which extend in the direction of card accommodation, are located in the housing, and a pair of columns (73, 74) are located inside each of the slots. Furthermore, a pair of recesses (55, 56) are located in each of the card-ejection members (50). The card-ejection members (50) are respectively accommodated in the slots (72), and they are prevented from slipping out by the engagement of projections (61) with the housing. In the first half of the ejection process in which a card (C) accommodated in the housing is disconnected from the contacts, the column (73) and recess (55) engage with each other to form a first pivoting center; in the second half of the ejection process, the column (74) and recess (56) engage with each other to form a second pivoting center to eject the card.
