Abstract
In a PC card connector, first and second support shafts are mounted upright on a pin housing, and each provided with a pair of fall-preventive sections at the leading end thereof. A first turn arm is provided with a circular hole, a protrusion, a tongue, a concave section on the rim of the circular hole, and a pair of cutouts that cross the concave section, and the circular hole is fitted on the first support shaft through the cutouts so that the first turn arm can move pivotally. A second turn arm is formed similarly to the first turn arm, and a circular hole thereof is fitted on the second support shaft so that the second turn arm can move pivotally. A drive lever is provided with a circular hole, an engaging section, a coupling hole, a thin concave section formed on the rim of the circular hole, and a pair of cutouts that cross the concave section. The circular hole is fitted on the first support shaft through the cutouts so that the drive lever can move pivotally, and the drive lever and the first turn arm are prevented from falling off by the fall-preventive sections of the first support shaft. The tongues of the turn arms are engaged with the coupling hole of the drive lever,…
