Ejector mechanism for memory card connector with variably positionable pushing block means

A memory card connector with ejection mechanism for use with a memory card, comprising:

• a housing including a plurality of contacts therein for electrical and mechanical engagement with a corresponding number of contacts of the said memory card which is inserted into the housing;
• a reinforcement plate positioned on the housing;
• said ejection mechanism including a pivotable lever adapted to be rotatable with regard to the housing, and an actuation bar and a sliding plate both adapted to be linearly moveable with regard to the housing in a direction conformable to an insertion direction of said memory card, a rear end of said actuation bar being engaged with a first end of said lever, and the sliding plate being engaged with a second end of said lever;
• wherein said lever is sandwiched between said reinforcement plate and said sliding plate, and said reinforcement plate includes a tang extending through a slot in a tab vertically extending from the sliding plate, and wherein a pushing block, which actuates the actuation bar to eject the inserted memory card, is actuatable from alternative directions.
