Card ejection mechanism for PCMCIA connector

摘要

A PCMCIA connector having a header retaining a number of terminals therein, a shield having a pair of downwardly and inwardly bent extensions to define a receiving slot for receiving a PCMCIA card, and a card ejection mechanism for releasing the inserted card. An engaging device is formed on one of the extensions of the shield and a guide of the ejection mechanism for retentively mounting the guide to the shield. By such a design, occupied space on a printed circuit board on which the connector is mounted is reduced, and assembly of the card ejection mechanism is facilitated.
