Abstract:
An ejector for extracting an electronic modular component upon the application of a tool to said ejector, said ejector comprising:a one-piece body having a relatively planar surface, and having a first end, a second end and a pivot located intermediate said first end and said second end, said first end being spaced from said pivot by a first fixed distance and said second end being spaced from said pivot by a second fixed distance, wherein said one-piece body mounts at said pivot for rotation in the plane of said surface;a shock absorber mounted on said body;a tool-receiving socket rigidly fixed to said one-piece body at said second end; anda cam rigidly fixed to said one-piece body at said first end, said cam having means for engaging an electronic modular component with a first force in response to the application of a second force within said tool-receiving socket, and wherein said first force is greater than said second force, and said cam has a cam face oriented perpendicular to said planar body.
