Abstract
An ejector system is disclosed for use with an IC card connector apparatus. The ejector system includes a header connector into which an IC card is loaded and from which it is ejected. An ejector mechanism is operatively associated with the header connector and is effective to eject the IC card therefrom. The mechanism includes a push-rod reciprocally mounted on an appropriate support structure with a distal end thereof operatively associated with an ejector lever and a proximal end thereof opposite the distal end. A push-button is pivotally mounted on the proximal end of the push-rod for pivotal movement between an operative position projecting generally coaxially of the push-rod and an inoperative position rotated from the operative position to one side of the push-rod. Complementary interengaging detents are provided between the push-button and the push-rod to resist pivotal movement of the push-button from its operative position to its inoperative position.
