Abstract: An IC card connector is provided for connecting an IC card having a terminal array and ejecting the card from the connector. A support structure has a receptacle for receiving the IC card for movement to a connecting position. An elongated push rod is linearly movably mounted on the support structure and is effective for ejecting the IC card from its connecting position, the push rod having an outer end. A push button is pivotally mounted to the outer end of the elongated push rod for movement between an inoperative position protruding colinearly from the outer end of the push rod and an inoperative position protruding angularly from one side of the push rod. An elastic member is coupled between the push rod and the push button for biasing the push button toward its operative position. A latch is operatively associated between the push rod and the push button for holding the push button in its inoperative position.
