Abstract
An ejector mechanism for a memory card connector comprising a housing, a shroud retained in a stationary relationship with respect to the housing, a pushing bar slidably mounted to the shroud. A separated elongate member having an integral stop is secured to the pushing bar. A coil spring is provided about the elongate member and compressed between a portion of the elongate member and the shroud. The coil spring urges the elongate member relative to the shroud to a resting position where the stop of the elongate member abuts against the shroud. With the stop integral with the elongate member to serve as a stop arrangement, the elongate member is prevented from disengaging from the rest of the pushing bar.
