Abstract: A stacked electrical connector has an insulative housing (1), a plurality of signal contacts (23, 26) and a pair of contacts (24, 27, 25, 28) retained in the housing. The housing defines a mounting surface (19) for mounting on a printed circuit board and a receiving space (12) for receiving a mating plug (9). The switch contact includes a base portion retained in the housing and a spring arm extending from the base portion. An insulative separator (245) is formed on one spring arm and projects into the receiving space. The separator is moveable in a plane vertical to the mounting surface. When the mating plug inserts into the receiving space, the separator rotates and drives one switch contact to connect with the other switch contact.

Abstract: An electrical connector (1) mounted on a circuit board is provided for mating with an electric device. The electrical connector includes a dielectric housing (10) having a terminal passage (16), a pair of conductive contact elements (20) received in the housing, and a fixing pad (30) connecting the circuit board. Each conductive contact element includes a base portion (21) positioned in the terminal passage, a tail portion (22) arranged on one side of the housing for connecting with a circuit board, a contacting portion (24) which serves for contacting the electric device, and a spring portion (23) connecting the contacting portion resiliently to the base portion. The fixing pad is fixed to the other side of the housing for providing balanced force acted on the electrical connector during mating with the electric device.

Abstract: A card connector includes an insulating housing defining at least two adjacent card cavities; a number of card contacts are retained in the housing and divided into at least two groups to expose to corresponding card cavities; and at least one controlling member is disposed on the housing between the two card cavities, and a stopper is deflected between the two car cavities and protruding into one card cavity once a card inserted into the other car cavity, and a resilient portion is for urging the stopper to resume its original position once the card withdrew from the other cavity.
