A memory card connector with an ejection mechanism 10 comprises an operating rod 15 sliding lengthwise along a side surface of a frame 11 and a cam bar 16 linked to the operating rod 15 intended for the ejection of the card. A spring 17 is attached to an overhang at an inner end of the operating rod 15 and to a mounting member 19 on the frame 11. Because of such an arrangement, the operating rod 15 is forced forward; and at the same time, due to the fact that the mounting member 19 is closer to the center of the connector than an overhang 34 of the operating rod 15, the operating rod is forced to the side surface of the frame 11.
A memory card connector comprising a frame in which a memory card is to be received, an ejection mechanism mounted on said frame for ejecting the memory card therefrom, characterized in that said ejection mechanism includes an operating rod movably mounted along a side surface of said frame on said frame and operatively connected to a cam bar pivotally mounted on said frame for engagement with the memory card thereby ejecting the memory card from said frame upon linear movement of said operating rod, and a spring wherein a first end of the spring is attached to said operating rod and a second end of said spring is attached to said frame, such that said operating rod is continuously biased against a surface of said frame for support.
An assembly of memory card connectors each of which comprises a frame in which a memory card is to be received, an electrical connector provided for each frame, an ejection mechanism mounted on said frame for ejecting the memory card therefrom, characterized in that said ejection mechanism includes an operating rod movably mounted along a side surface of said frame and operatively connected to a cam bar pivotally mounted on said frame for engagement with the memory card thereby ejecting the memory card upon linear movement of said operating rod, and a spring wherein a first end of the spring is attached to said operating rod and a second end of said spring is attached to said frame, such that said operating rod is continuously biased against a surface of said frame for support and for maintaining the operating rod in a non-ejecting position and against said frame whereby the frames and connectors are stacked together with the connectors opposite one another and the operating rods extending along opposite side surfaces of the stacked frames.
