An electrical card connector comprises an ejector (4), a spring member (10) pushing the ejector backward and an ejecting bar (5) advanced by a force from the ejector, applying the force to a transmission mechanism. The ejector comprises an engaging member (12) guided by a cam member (7) provided in housing. The engaging member is engaged with and released from engaging bar. The cam member is provided as a cam groove (17) forming a circulation rout. The cam groove is formed so that the engaging member engages with the ejecting bar only when the ejector advances for card ejection and the engaging member (12) is released from the ejecting bar and the ejector (4) is moved backward under a pressure from the spring member (10) at other times than the card ejection.

Electrical card connector

An ejector lever (9) has a first push portion (10) and a second push portion (12) spaced from the fulcrum stud (8) further than the first push portion (10) in order to push a slider member (13). The second push portion (12) is provided on a cantilever spring (11) so as to provide the slider member (13) with spring forces when the first push portion (10) releases the connection between the PC card (1) and the connector section (5).

PC card electrical connector

A circuit board electrical connector which includes a first connector (10) connectable to a first external member (Q) and a second connector (30) connectable to the first connector at one end and a second external member at the other end opposite to the one end. The first connector includes an insulation block (11) with a connection recess (12) having an opening on a front side thereof; a plurality of first contact elements (20, 21) disposed within the insulation block such that contact portions are exposed in the connection recess. The second connector includes a contact support (38); a connection section (31) connected to the contact support at one end and to be inserted into the connection recess on the other end opposite to the one end; a plurality of second contact elements (33-36) having contact portions (33A-36A) disposed on the connection section for spring contact with the first contact elements and connection portions (33B-36B) extending through the contact support for connection with the second external member; an arrangement pitch of the contact portions of the second contact elements being different from that of the connection portions of the second contact elements.

Circuit board electrical connector

A low connection force electrical connector system includes an elongated housing (1); a connection recess (2) extending in a longitudinal direction of said elongated housing and having a regulation face (8) and a guide face (7) in a plane parallel to a bottom face of said elongated housing; at least one upper and one lower channel (3, 4) formed on upper and lower inside walls of said connection recess, respectively; at least one upper and one lower contact element (10, 11) fitted in said upper and lower channel, respectively; and a circuit board (P) having an insertion slope (P1) at a lower front edge thereof.
