Abstract
An ejector is operable to move an ejector member against a data card in engagement with a connector to move the card along a pathway into an ejected position out of engagement with the connector. A latch member is mounted on the connector and has a blocking portion with a latch position in which it extends into the pathway to block movement of the card. The ejector includes a slide button that engages a lever to pivot the lever so that one end of the lever pushes on the card to push the card toward its ejected position. The positive latch action of the latch member prevents such movement unless the latch member is disengaged. The latch member preferably includes a leaf spring having a spring force that resists movement of its free outer end from a blocking position. A projection on the spring may be engaged to depress the spring into an unlatch position.
