Abstract
A card edge connector (10) includes an insulative housing (12) defining a central slot (14) for receiving a card (100) therein. A cavity section (18) is provided at one end of the housing (12) with an alignment end wall (40) for aligning the inserted card (100) in a lengthwise direction. An ejector (20) is rotatably received within the cavity section (18) by means of a spindle (32), a center of which is relatively closer to an inner surface (42) of the ejector (20), wherein the inner surface (42) of the ejector (20) includes at least a first plane-like section (44) generally coplanar with the outer surface (45) of the end wall (40), a second arc-like section (46) generally conformable with the periphery of the spindle (32), and a third plane-like section (48) spaced from the outer surface (25) of the end wall (40) in a substantial distance, when such ejector (20) is in a vertical locked position with regard to the housing (12).
