Abstract:
A card edge connector for receiving a memory card includes an insulative housing with a central slot for receiving the memory card and a plurality of terminal contacts retained in a plurality of grooves defined by the insulative housing and a retainer positioned on the housing. The retainer defines a body portion mounted on the housing, a locking portion extending into the housing from the body portion and a elastic engaging portion extending downwardly into the central slot from inner side of the body portion for steadily locking the memory card.
Abstract:
A card edge connector is used for connecting an electronic card to a printed circuit board and includes an insulative housing defining a central slot extending along a longitudinal direction with a key disposed therein and a plurality of terminal slots located on at least one side of the central slot; and a plurality of conductive terminals received in the terminal slots and each defining a retaining portion retained in the insulative housing, a contacting portion extending into the central slot along a mating direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and a soldering portion extending outside of the insulative housing. The retaining portion of each conductive terminal defines a pair of positioning portions interfering with the insulative housing in the longitudinal direction, and each positioning portion defines an inclined portion guiding the conductive terminal inserted into the insulative housing along the mating direction.
Abstract:
A card edge connector includes an insulative elongated housing, two rows of contacts disposed in the housing. The housing includes a pair of side walls extending along the longitudinal direction with a receiving slot therebetween in a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The receiving slot is configured to receive a card type memory module. Each contact is equipped with the solder ball for surface mounting upon the printed circuit board. The contact includes a retaining section secured to the housing, a deflectable contacting section extending upwardly from the retaining section, and a tail section extending downwardly from the retaining section and including a connecting section and a solder pad. The solder pads of the contacts in a same row along the longitudinal direction are alternately arranged in opposite directions in the transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
Abstract:
A card edge connector includes an insulative housing with a pair of opposite side walls extending along a longitudinal direction with a central slot therebetween in the transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. A pair of towers are located at two opposite ends of the housing in the longitudinal direction. The housing is essentially obliquely mounted upon a printed circuit board. Each tower has a lower/first part and an upper/second part in the vertical direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction. The width dimension in the transverse direction of the upper part is smaller than that of the lower part.
Abstract:
A card edge connector includes an elongated insulative housing extending in a longitudinal direction and defining at least one tower portion extending upwardly from a longitudinal end thereof, a plurality of contacts retained in the insulative housing, and an ejector received in the at least one tower portion for latching with or ejecting a memory card. The ejector has a base portion rotatably attached to the tower portion and a locking portion rotatably attached to the base portion, the at least one tower portion has a slot, the locking portion is rotatable inward to face towards the top surface of the insulative housing in order to reduce a height of the card edge connector, the base portion has a lower ejecting section, and the locking portion has an upper locking section.
Abstract:
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing and a plurality of contacts received in the housing. At least a retainer is retained in the insulative housing. The retainer includes a soldering portion leaning on a bottom side of the housing and said housing defines a hole corresponding to said soldering portion. The hole communicates with exterior in both a lengthwise direction and an inserting direction which is perpendicular to the lengthwise direction for enhancing the stability of welding.
Abstract:
A card edge connector includes: an elongated insulative housing comprising two longitudinal walls, a center slot defined between the longitudinal walls, and plural terminal receiving passageways arranged along the longitudinal walls; and plural terminals fixed in the terminal receiving passageways, wherein each of the longitudinal walls defines a first recessed portion extending along a longitudinal direction and plural second recessed portions extending upwardly from the first recessed portion at an outer surface thereof, the second recessed portions are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction, the first recessed portion goes through a bottom face of the longitudinal wall, and the second recessed portions does not go through a top of the longitudinal wall.
Abstract:
A securing mechanism for retaining a daughter board upon the primary board includes a base, which is moveably assembled upon the main board, and a latch assembled upon the base and moveable between a locking position and an unlocking position. The base forms a support platform upwardly abutting against the underside of the daughter board and equipped with an arc protrusion for receipt within a notch of the daughter board, and a grounding piece with one end mechanically and electrically connecting a grounding pad of the daughter board and the other end mechanically and electrically connecting a grounding pad on the main board. The base forms a horizontal slot to receive the main body so as to retain the base to the main body in position in the vertical direction. The latch forms a pressing face downwardly pressing an upper side of the daughter board.
Abstract:
A card edge connector includes an insulative elongated housing, a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing, and a pair of rotatable ejectors at two ends of the housing. The housing includes a pair of side walls extending along the longitudinal direction with a receiving slot therebetween in a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and a pair of towers at two opposite ends of the housing in the longitudinal direction. The receiving slot is configured to receive a card type memory module. The pair of ejectors are disposed in the corresponding towers, respectively. Each ejector includes a kicker at the bottom wherein a tip of the kicker will not invade into the space between the pair of outermost contacts so as not interfere with the corresponding outermost contacts when the ejector is rotated to be at an open/ejecting position.
Abstract:
A card edge connector includes an insulative housing along a longitudinal direction, a number of terminals fixed in the insulative housing and an ejector pivotally mounted to the insulative housing. The insulative housing has two side walls and a number of tower-shaped portions protruding upwardly from the side walls. The insulative housing has a central slot between two side walls. The tower-shaped portion has a mounting slot. The tower-shaped portion defines a holding recess communicated to the mounting slot. The ejector has a main portion and a number of holding portions protruding from two opposite sides of the main portion. The holding portion has a first portion and a second portion extending from the first portion. The first portion is closer to the central slot than the second portion. The first portion has a front edge with a sleek section.
