Abstract:
A PC card connector comprising:a pin housing having a plurality of pin contacts to be connected to socket contacts of a PC card;a push-rod reciprocally supported by a frame integrally formed with said pin housing to be pressed for unloading the PC card;a drive lever pivotally supported by a first support shaft standing on said pin housing, and engaged with said push-rod at one end thereof;a first turn arm pivotally supported by said first support shaft, provided at one end with a first protrusion for pushing out the PC card, and coupled at the other end to a fixed position on said drive lever; anda second turn arm pivotally supported by a second support shaft standing on said pin housing, provided at one end with a second protrusion for pushing out the PC card, and coupled at the other end to the fixed position on said drive lever,wherein said first support shaft is provided with a fall-preventive section projecting outward from the leading end in the radial direction,wherein said drive lever and said first turn arm are each provided with a hole to be fitted on said first support shaft,wherein cutouts are formed on the rims of said holes corresponding to said fall-preventive section,wherein sections on the rims of said holes of said drive lever and said first turn arm are formed thinner than other sections, and one of said thin sections is fitted in the other thin section, andwherein the sum of thicknesses of said drive lever and said first turn arm is approximately equal to the length of said first support shaft, and said fall-preventive section is engaged with said one of said thin sections while said drive lever and said first turn arm are fitted on said first support shaft so as to be prevented from falling off.
