Abstract
A memory card connector (10) includes an insulative housing (20) having a plurality of cavities (26) extending therethrough in a front-to-end direction for reception of a corresponding number of contacts therein. Ejection mechanism includes a pivotal lever (70) adapted to be rotatable with regard to the housing (20), and an actuation bar (80) adapted to be lengthwise moved wherein such lever (70) and actuation bar (80) are linked with each other. A pushing block (90) positioned on the actuation bar (80), has a pushing or operation surface (95) which laterally projects out of the lengthwise axis (Z) of such actuation bar (80) so that the actuation bar (80) can be rearwardly moved by easily manually approaching such operation surface (95) from an exterior, thus actuating such pivotal lever (70) to rotationally move for ejection of the memory card inserted within the connector (10).
