Disclosed is a connector assembly (1) for receiving a card medium (60) having card contacts (61) on a front edge thereof. The connector assembly comprises a header (20) having terminals (24) for electrically connecting to the card contacts of the card medium and an ejector unit (40) for ejecting the card from the header. The ejector unit (40) comprises a spring-biased actuator (41) for applying an ejecting force to the card, and a latching mechanism having at least one rotary piece (47) rotatably fixed to the actuator with notches (48) and contours (49) formed on opposite ends thereof, and stationary cam projections (50, 51) spaced from each other to allow the rotary piece (47) to move from one to the other cam projection, such that each cam projection follows the notches (48) and contours (49) of one end of the rotary piece, thereby causing the rotary piece to turn and lock the actuator when one of the cam projections catches one end of the rotary piece.
