Abstract
A housing for at least one removable memory package includes a connector section having a contact array for connecting to the package and an enclosure coupled to and extending from the connector section for supporting the package for connection to the connector section. The housing further includes an ejection mechanism for ejecting the package outwardly from the enclosure and an ejection release button, which is connected to the ejection mechanism for initiating ejection of the package and supported for movement in a direction that is approximately perpendicular to the ejecting package. By locating the ejection release button at the front surface of the eject mechanism, and sliding the eject button in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the ejecting package, the eject mechanism can be of narrow width.
