A card eject system is provided for a memory card connector which includes a metal housing defining a receiving space for receiving a memory card inserted into the receiving space in an insertion direction through an insert opening generally at a front end of the housing. An insulating terminal socket is disposed at a rear end of the metal housing opposite the insert opening. A plurality of conductive terminals are mounted in the terminal socket for connection to the memory card. A pair of independently operable card eject mechanisms are disposed generally at opposite ends of the terminal socket for engaging the memory card at two spaced locations transversely of the insertion direction.
