Abstract
A PC card electrical connector with an expandable ejector includes an intermediate bar (10) having a cam follower pin (13); an ejector button section (20) for motion between a lock position (A2) where the ejector button section projects little more than a front end of the casing and a release position (C2) where the ejector button section projects far from the front end of the casing; a line spring (28) having a cam follower end (30); a first biasing spring (30) for biasing the ejector button section forwardly so that when the ejector button section is depressed a first time to release the follower end of the line spring from the lock position, the ejector button section is brought to the release position; and a second biasing spring (49) for biasing the intermediate bar onto a side of the ejector button section so that when the ejector button section is moved forward to the release position, the intermediate bar is turned to connect to the ejector button section, thereby making it possible that by depressing a second time the ejector button section to move the intermediate bar rearwardly, the receiving plate is brought to the removing position for removal of the PC card.
