Abstract
A memory card connector, which includes a connector body for receiving a memory card, the connector body having a coupling rod with a coupling head, a lever turned about the coupling rod at the connector body, and a push bar coupled to one end of the lever for operation by hand to turn the lever about the coupling rod, for causing the lever to push the installed memory card away from the connector body, wherein the lever has a coupling hole coupled to the coupling rod at the connector body, and two coupling flanges suspended in the coupling hole at two opposite sides and forced into engagement with the coupling head of the coupling rod upon a rotary motion of the lever through an angle relative to the coupling rod after insertion of the coupling rod through the coupling hole at the lever.
Claims8
A memory card connector comprising:
- a connector body, said connector body comprising an elongated terminal holder base having rows of pin holes for receiving pins of a connector of a memory card, a first side arm and a second side arm perpendicularly extended from two ends of said terminal holder base, said first side arm is parallel to said second side arm, and a coupling rod raised from a top side of said terminal holder base, said coupling rod comprising a shank and a coupling head formed integrally;
- a lever having a coupling hole coupled to said coupling rod, said lever also including a flat connecting portion and a downward stop portion that abuts the memory card installed in said connector body;
- a push bar that moves along the first side arm of said connector body for turning said lever to push the installed memory card away from said connector body, said push bar having a rear end and a front end that is coupled to the flat connecting portion of said lever;
- wherein said lever comprises two coupling flanges suspended in said coupling hole at two opposite sides and forced into engagement with the coupling head of said coupling rod upon a rotary motion of said lever through an angle relative to said coupling rod after insertion of said coupling rod through the coupling hole at said lever;
- and wherein
- said first side arm of said connector body defines a longitudinal track, and said push bar comprises two longitudinal coupling flanges coupled to said longitudinal track and moved with said push bar along said longitudinal track.
