Abstract
A socket connector ( ) includes an insulative housing ( ), a plurality of contacts ( ) received in the housing, and an ejector ( ) pivotally connected with the housing. The injector includes a pivot axle ( ) pivotally received in the housing, a lever ( ) extending from the pivot axle, a transverse pressing button ( ) extending from a distal end of the lever perpendicularly, and an injecting portion ( ) extending from the pivot axle in a direction substantially perpendicular to the lever. When an IC module ( ) is received in the housing, the ejecting portion of the ejector is pressed under the IC module. When the IC module is required to be removed from the housing, the pressing button of the ejector is pressed down, and the ejecting portion rotates about the pivot axle and pushes the IC module upwardly. Thus, the IC module can be removed from the housing easily.
