SIM CARD CONNECTOR WITH INTEGRATED EJECTION MECHANISM

摘要

A SIM card connector has an integrated SIM card tray ejection mechanism. The ejection mechanism is contained within the connector and includes a pushrod that is disposed in a slot adjacent a SIM card tray cavity. The pushrod is configured to apply a force against an ejector arm when the ejection mechanism is activated. In response, the ejector arm rotates about a pivot and applies an ejection force to the SIM card tray causing the tray to eject from the cavity.
