  • Patent number: 9437975
    Abstract: A crosstalk-proof receptacle connector has multiple insulative boards, multiple sets of terminals, multiple sets of shielding plates and an outer casing. The insulative boards are arranged abreast. The sets of the terminals are mounted respectively in the insulative boards. The terminals of each set are classified into signal terminals and grounding terminals. Each set of the shielding plates is mounted on one of two opposite sides of a corresponding insulative board. The shielding plates of each set are spaced apart without contacting one another. Each shielding plate has multiple folding sections capable of interrupting signal noise. The outer casing covers the insulative boards to combine the insulative boards. The sets of the shielding plates decrease signal interference of the receptacle connector and improve signal transmission efficiency and stability.

  • Patent number: 7614898
    Abstract: An electrical connector for engaging with an electronic card has a insulative housing with a plurality of receiving spaces, a plurality of terminals respectively mounted in the receiving spaces of the insulative housing, and an operating member pivotally connected to the insulative housing. The operating member controls the terminals in the insulative housing to be moved for electrically and mechanically engagement with the electronic card. Each of the terminals has a base portion, an upper arm and a lower arm. The upper arm is connected to the base portion at a joint as a first fulcrum. The lower arm is connected to the base portion at another joint as a second fulcrum. As the operating member pivotally moves to a predetermined position, the upper arm and the lower arm respectively rotate about the first fulcrum and the second fulcrum to securely grasp the electronic card.
