Abstract
A memory card connector includes a metal shell defining a receiving space for receiving a memory card inserted into the receiving space in an insertion direction through an insert opening generally at a front end of the shell. An insulating socket is disposed generally at a rear end of the metal shell and includes a plurality of conductive terminals. A push/push card ejector is provided and includes a slider. The push/push card ejector also includes an actuating lever that extends transversely of the insertion direction and has a first end pivotally attached to the slider and a second end engageable with the memory card for engaging and ejecting the memory card. The connector may be configured so as to minimize packaging space outside of the metal shell.
