Abstract
An ejection mechanism for ejecting an electrical card from an electrical card connector includes a shell (1) for receiving the electrical card, a push bar (2) positioned on a side of the shell (1), a push plate (5) slidably connected to a base (10) of the shell (1), and a connection plate (3). The connection plate (3) pivots about a positioning silo (33) formed in the base (10) and has a first end (31) engaging with the push bar (2) and a second end (32) engaging with the push plate (5). Thus, the electrical card can be easily ejected from the electrical card connector by exerting a force on a free end of the push bar (2) of the ejection mechanism, which actuates the push plate (5) to push the electrical card out of the shell (1).
Claims16
An ejection mechanism for an electrical card connector, comprising:
- a shell comprising a base forming a pair of leading rails on a top surface thereof and a folded frame extending from an edge of the base to form a channel;
- a push bar being received in the channel of the shell;
- a push plate being slidably received between the leading rails of the base of the shell and having a push section for ejecting an electrical card;
- and
- a connection plate being rotatably connected to the base of the shell, the connection plate comprising a first end connected with the push bar and a second end connected with the push plate.
An electrical card connector comprising:
- an insulative housing forming a plurality of passageways receiving terminals therein;
- and
- an ejection mechanism comprising a shell affixed to one side of the housing, a pair of engaging arms and a pair of locking elements integrally formed with the shell, a push bar mounted to a side edge of the shell, leading rails being formed on a top surface of the shell, a connection plate rotatably connected to the shell and a push plate slidably received between the leading rails of the shell, the engaging arms and the locking elements being secured to the housing, the push bar being slidably connected with a first end of the connection plate and the push plate being connected with an opposite second end of the connection plate, the push bar being operable to turn the connection plate to thereby move the push plate.
An ejection mechanism for an electrical card connector, comprising:
- a shell comprising a base and a folded frame extending from an edge of the base to form a channel, the base forming a first leading slot, a second leading slot and a positioning silo;
- a push bar being received in the channel of the shell;
- a push plate being slidably mounted to the base of the shell and having a push section for ejecting an electrical card;
- and
- a connection plate being rotatably connected to the positioning silo of the base of the shell, the connection plate comprising a first end received in the first leading slot of the base and connected with the push bar and a second end received in the second leading slot of the base and connected with the push plate.
An electrical card connector comprising:
- an insulative housing forming a plurality of passageways receiving terminals therein;
- and
- an ejection mechanism comprising a shell affixed to one side of the housing, a pair of engaging arms and a pair of locking elements integrally formed with the shell, a push bar mounted to a side edge of the shell, a connection plate rotatably connected to the shell and a push plate slidably mounted to the shell, the engaging arms and the locking elements being secured to the housing, the push bar being slidably connected with a first end of the connection plate and the push plate being connected with an opposite second end of the connection plate, the push bar being operable to turn the connection plate to thereby move the push plate;
- wherein
- first and second leading slots are formed in the shell for respectively receiving the first and the second ends of the connection plate and a positioning silo is formed in the shell and connected with the connection plate.
