  • Patent number: 10176410
    Abstract: An electronic card connector, defining an insertion direction, an ejection direction, and a transverse direction perpendicular to the insertion direction, includes an insulative housing and a number of terminals retained in the insulative housing. The terminals include a row of first contacts disposed along the insertion direction. Each first contact has a first affixed portion and a first contacting portion located at a peak therein. Each of the first contacts extends along the transverse direction. The first contacting portions of the neighboring first contacts are located offset along the insertion direction. The first contacting portions and associated first affixed portions of the first contacts are distanced differently in the transverse direction.

  • Patent number: 10170863
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a number of conductive terminals affixed to the insulative housing, a shielding shell enclosing the insulative housing; and a sealer. The insulative housing includes a base portion and a tongue portion extending forwardly from the base portion. Each conductive terminal includes a contacting portion exposed to the tongue portion. The shielding shell includes a number of locking grooves penetrating rearward and a number of tubers and each sandwiched between two locking grooves. The sealer seals a rear end of the shielding shell. The sealer includes a number of tubers corresponded with the locking grooves of the shielding shell and a number of locking grooves receiving the tubers of the shielding shell.
