Abstract
A PC card connector has an injection mechanism which is improved so as to make it possible to push a PC card in a substantially straightforward direction, in which the PC card is withdrawn, without converting rotary motion into linear motion. The PC card connector is further improved so as to be able to assure the constant smooth withdrawal of the PC card without the need of a complicated or large-sized structure. The PC card connector is provided with a push rod which is pressed to remove the PC card, an eject lever which is supported by a first fulcrum in a pivotal manner, and which has one end engaged with the push rod and has a first claw at the other end to eject the PC card, and a rotary arm which is supported by a second fulcrum in a pivotal manner and has at one end a second claw to eject the PC card, and which has the other end connected to a predetermined location in the eject lever. In this PC card connector, the predetermined location is defined on the opposite side to the first claw with respect to the first fulcrum.
