Abstract
A memory card connector (100) for soldering to a printed circuit board (PCB) includes a U-shaped shell (1), an insulative frame (2), a plurality of conductive contacts (3) partially retained in the insulative frame and an ejecting mechanism. The ejecting mechanism includes a first device (61) for movement with an inserted memory card and a second device (62) for ejecting the memory card. The first device includes an eject metal (612), a slide bar (611) integral with the eject metal, a first cam (614) and a first cam follower (615). The second device includes a push bar (621), a control rod (626), a second cam (624) and a second cam follower (625). By the interoperation of the first device and the second device, the push bar is operable to eject the memory card while at the same time being locked to a forward concealed position.
