ABSTRACT:
A PCMCIA memory card connection device is shown comprising a support frame in which is slidably mounted a chariot driven by an electric motor via a worm gear cooperating in a screw thread of a lateral guide of the chariot. A PCMCIA memory card is insertable into the connection device and connectable to a connector mounted on a transverse bar between lateral guides of the chariot. Full insertion of the card against the connector is detected by a micro switch mounted on the transverse bar of the chariot, whereby the electric motor is then actuated and draws back the chariots to a position where the memory card is well within the computing device and protected from electromagnetic interference by the faraday cage thereof.
