Abstract
An electrical card connector includes a main body (,) having a dielectric housing (,), a number of terminals (,) received in the housing, and a mounting casing (,) assembled to the housing, and a card ejection mechanism (,) mounted to the casing of the main body. The card ejection mechanism includes an operating rod (,), a connecting rod (,) having an end pivotally attached to an end of the operating rod, and a card ejecting lever (,) pivotally attached to an opposite end of the connecting rod. The connecting rod has a first fulcrum (,), and the card ejecting lever has a second fulcrum (,) which is movable a predetermined distance. When the operating rod acts on the connecting rod to pivot about the first fulcrum, the arm of the connecting rod pivots causing the card ejecting lever to move a distance in a rearward direction, thus the card is ejected a distance. When the second fulcrum of the card ejecting lever abuts against the casing, the card ejecting lever begins to pivot about the second fulcrum, thus the connecting rod and the card ejecting lever work together and eject the card a relatively long distance.
