An ejecting apparatus includes an ejecting plate 26 that has an engaging tab 32 for engaging with a memory card and is guided in the direction in which the memory card is inserted into and removed from a connector frame 10. A lever 36 is provided on the connector frame 10 so that it may be moved rotationally around a fulcrum 38. A push rod 56 presses one end of the lever and moves the lever rotationally on the fulcrum. The lever has a first pushing position 40 that disconnects the memory card from terminals 22 by moving the ejecting plate 26 in the removal direction when the lever is moved rotationally by the push rod. A projecting tab 44 at the second pushing position moves the memory card M further in the removal direction by directly moving the memory card after it is disconnected from the connector terminals. The upward projecting profile 40 is located on the lever 36 between the fulcrum 38 and the projecting tab 44.

1. An ejecting apparatus for disconnecting and removing a PC card from an electrical connector having a connector frame with a header containing a plurality of contact terminals that connect to a plurality of mating contact terminals on the card, said ejecting apparatus comprising:a. a slidable ejecting plate having an engaging tab for engaging said card, said ejecting plate guided in an insertion direction in which the card is inserted toward the header, and in a removal direction in which the card is removed away from the header by said ejecting plate; b. a lever rotatably mounted on a fulcrum on said connector frame so that the lever may be rotated about said fulcrum, said lever having a first arm on one side of the fulcrum and a second arm on the other side of the fulcrum, the first arm being rigid, the second arm being rigid; c. a reciprocal push rod associated with one of said arms of the lever to rotate the lever about the fulcrum; d. an ejecting plate pushing position on the other arm of said lever that is brought into contact with said ejecting plate to move the ejecting plate in the removal direction when the lever is rotated by the push rod to disconnect the contact terminals of the card from the contact terminals of the header; and e. a card pushing position on the other arm of said lever to directly push the card after the terminals of the card have been disconnected from the connector terminals of the header so that the card is moved farther in the removal direction, wherein said ejecting plate pushing position is located on said lever between said fulcrum and said card pushing position.
