Abstract
A connector apparatus for a card-like data processing medium comprises a frame (12) having opposing side walls (16a, 16b) that define a storage space (24a, 24b) of the connector apparatus. One end of the frame (12) defines an insertion inlet (22) for inserting a card-like data processing medium (30) in the storage space. A header containing a terminal array (32) is coupled to the end of the frame opposite the insertion inlet (22). An ejection mechanism (40a, 40b) is provided for ejecting the card-like data processing medium (30) from the storage space by manual operation of a push rod (48) that is coupled to the ejection mechanism (40). Means responsive to a control signal are provided for automatically decoupling the push rod (48) from the ejection mechanism to desable the ejection mechanism.
