Low profile connector

摘要

An electrical connector comprises an insulative unit, a shielding shell, a plurality of terminals and a card ejecting mechanism. The card ejecting mechanism comprises a shaft member, a lever member and a push rod. The shaft member has a base portion fixed to the insulative unit and a shaft portion extending from the base portion and protruding from the insulative unit. The lever member has an operating portion, a pushing portion and a shaft hole positioned between the operating portion and the pushing portion. The shaft hole receives the shaft portion therein and the lever member can rotate about the shaft portion between two positions. The push rod is provided correspondingly to the operating portion and slides under pushing from an external force to push the operating portion, so as to allow the lever member to rotate from the receiving position to the pushing position.

主权项

1. An electrical connector, comprising:
an insulative unit having a main body and a mounting block; a shielding shell having a top plate portion and a sliding groove, the top plate portion and the insulative unit together defining a receiving space; a plurality of terminals fixed to main body; and a card ejecting mechanism comprising: a shaft member positioned in the mounting block and having a base portion and a shaft portion extending from the base portion, the base portion being fixed to the mounting block and the shaft portion protruding from the insulative unit toward the top plate portion; a lever member supported over the mounting block and having an operating portion, a pushing portion and a shaft hole positioned between the operating portion and the pushing portion, the shaft hole mounted on the shaft portion, the lever member being capable of rotating about the shaft portion between a receiving position and a pushing position, wherein the pushing portion is outside the receiving space when in the receiving position and is in the receiving space when in the pushing position; and a push rod positioned in the sliding groove and configured to slide back and forth along a card insertion direction, wherein in operation an external force causes the push rod to push the operating portion, so as to allow the lever member to rotate from the receiving position to the pushing position.
