Abstract
Disclosed is an insertion and ejection printed circuit board edge connector assembly. A circuit board fits into a slot in an elongated housing, and at each end of the housing there is an ejectment mechanism having an upper engagement arm and a lateral engagement arm which is pivotally connected to the housing at a point between the engagement and ejectment arm. The engagement arm is fixed to one end of the circuit board by a flexible latch which may be disengaged to allow the ejectment arm to pivot upwardly to eject the circuit board.
