Publication number: 20020038476Abstract: An electrical connector includes a base plate with an accommodating groove, an integrated circuit board, and a card-ejecting device. The accommodating groove has an open front end and a closed rear end, and is adapted to receive a smart card therein. The smart card has a front end extending from the front end of the groove, and a rear end that is spaced apart from the rear end of the groove at a small distance. When the front end of the smart card is pressed inwardly to move the rear end of the smart card to the rear end of the groove, and is subsequently released, the card-ejecting device pushes the smart card outwardly relative to the connector. Accordingly, the smart card can be ejected with ease.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2001Publication date: April 4, 2002Inventors: Leland Wang, Wen-Yen Liu, Chan-Ming Hsu, Fang-Ping Wang, Shun-Jung Chuang

Patent number: 5993227Abstract: A card connector for electrically coupling a PC card to an electrical device is provided. The card connector comprises a header section having a plurality of terminal pins disposed within the header section. A first and second elongated arm section are integrally coupled with the header section. Each one of the arms extend from a first end to a second end thereby forming a slot which is adapted to receive the PC card and guide the PC card into electrical contact with the terminal pins. A guide housing is securely disposed over said first arm. A push-rod is slidably mounted within the guide housing and adapted to move from a first position to a second position. A post is disposed within the guide housing. A swing arm is pivotally mounted on the push-rod and is adapted to engage and disengage with the post as the push-rod moves from the first position to the second position. A first spring is in communication with said swing arm.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 1997Date of Patent: November 30, 1999Assignee: Berg Technology, Inc.Inventors: Chiu-Hui Hsia, Chih-Chung Chu, Yu-Wen Chu, Chan-Ming Hsu
