This invention is directed to a memory card ejection mechanism, where the card is electrically connected to a mating header, as known in the art. The mechanism comprises a memory card holder consisting of a pair of channel-shaped side rails for slidably receiving the memory card therebetween, where the rails extend between a closed mating header end and an open memory card receiving end. Each rail is defined by an outer wall, an inwardly directed upper wall, and an inwardly directed lower wall, and the joint or intersection between the outer wall and the inwardly directed upper wall is characterized by a recess extending a predetermined distance along the joint. The mechanism further includes a memory card ejector plate for slidably engaging the holder and consists of a base and a pair of upstanding side walls, where the base extends between a mating header end and a card receiving end. The mating header end includes a pair of upstanding tabs adapted to engage the header proximate end of the memory card when received between the side rails. The card receiving end includes a pull tab extending in a direction away from the side walls, whereby each said wall, along an upper edge thereof, is provided with an inwardly directed flange adapted to be slidably received within a corresponding recess along the rail, and the length of the flange is less than the said predetermined distance to allow relative movement between the holder and the ejector plate.

A memory card ejection mechanism, where said card is electrically connected to a mating header, said mechanism comprising: a. a memory card holder consisting of a pair of channel-shaped side rails for slidably receiving said memory card therebetween, said rails extending between a closed mating header end and an open memory card receiving end, where each said rail is defined by an outer wall, an inwardly directed upper wall, and an inwardly directed lower wall, and a joint between said outer wall and said inwardly directed upper wall is characterized by a recess extending a predetermined distance along said joint, and b. a memory card ejector plate for slidably engaging said holder and consisting of a base and a pair of upstanding side walls, where said base extends between a mating header end and a card receiving end, said mating header end including a pair of upstanding tabs adapted to engage the header-proximate end of said memory card when received between said side rails, and said card receiving end including a pull tab extending in a direction away from said side walls, whereby each said side wall, along an upper edge thereof, is provided with an inwardly directed flange adapted to be slidably received within a corresponding said recess along said rail, the length of said flange being less than said predetermined distance to allow relative movement between said holder and said ejector plate.
