摘要： Disclosed is a low-profile card connector comprising a U-shaped housing; terminals mounted in the housing; and a card ejector comprising a rotary lever and an ejection rod for turning the rotary lever. The rotary lever comprises front and rear sections. The front section is contiguous with the rear section, and is in a plane lower and parallel to the rear section. The front section is rotatably fixed to the main body, and is covered by a cover member, which is assembled to the main body and the overlying front section of the rotary lever to be coplanar with the rear section of the rotary lever.

摘要： Disclosed is a card connector equipped with an eject mechanism that includes a rotary lever and an ejection rod with a catch tab formed thereon for preventing the card from being inadvertently removed or disengaged from the connector particularly in high vibration environments. The card connector includes an insulating housing having two parallel longitudinal extensions extending from lateral sides of the housing. One longitudinal extension has a support frame fixed to its outer side for accommodating movably the ejection rod. The support frame has two guide projections formed thereon, and the ejection rod has a corresponding guide slot within which the guide projections are received. The two guide projections are staggered that one may be close to the longitudinal extension, and that the other may be apart from the longitudinal extension whereas the guide slot has an intermediate oblique section between the leading and trailing straight sections. With this arrangement the ejection rod can move between a parallel position and an angled position whereat it is tilted close to the opening of the card cavity. The angled position of the ejection rod allows the catch tab to block the card cavity and prevent the card from being inadvertently removed or disengaged from the card connector.
