Abstract
A card edge connector (10) includes an elongated housing (12) defining a central slot (14) along its lengthwise direction for receiving a card (100) therein. A plurality of passageways (16) are formed in the housing (12) by two sides of the slot (14). Two cavities (18) are formed at two opposite ends of the housing (12) for receiving a pair of corresponding ejectors (20) therein, respectively. A pair of retention bars (34) are positioned adjacent each end of the housing (12) and respectively on two sides of the slot (14). Each ejector (20) includes a main body (22) which is substantially higher than the adjacent retention bars (34). A pair of stopper blocks (32) are formed on two side surfaces (28) of the main body (22) for engagement with the corresponding retention bars (34), respectively, when the ejector (20) is in the vertical position. A locking peg (36) formed at the top of the main body (22) of the ejector (20), horizontally extends toward the central slot (14) and is substantially positioned over the corresponding retention bars (34).
