The core has a sliding slot, which has one end having a concave positioning point, and the other end having a starting point, such that unidirectional circulation successively from the starting point to the positioning point and then to the starting point is formed. The sheet may slide relatively to the base and has first and second pushing portions respectively disposed in the lower and upper slots. The rod has one end engaged into the sliding slot and is slidable along the sliding slot. The elastic member provides elasticity for moving the sliding sheet into the base and then returning the sheet to a home position.

Abstract: A card edge connector includes an elongated housing, the housing extends along a longwise direction thereof and has a pair of opposed side walls, a central slot between the side walls, and a tower portion disposed at one end thereof. A plurality of contacts are retained in the housing. An ejector mechanism is rotatable retained in the housing and has a body portion, a flexible arm divided from the body portion and a locking protrusion located on the flexible arm. The lock protrusion is adapted to resist the tower portion during the ejector mechanism rotates with respect to the housing.
