  • Publication number: 20120214351
    Abstract: A differential signal connector includes a plurality of pairs of signal contacts, a plurality of ground contacts, and an insulating housing holding the signal contacts and the ground contacts. On a first connection side for connection to a connection partner, the ground contacts are arranged on both sides of each pair of signal contacts so that a contact array of a fixed pitch is formed. On a second connection side for connection to board, the ground contacts are arranged spaced apart from each other in a first row, while the pairs of signal contacts, which are adjacently arranged on both sides of the ground contact on the first connection side, are arranged so as to be allocated in a second row and a third row located on both sides of the first row so that the pairs of signal contacts are arranged zigzag on the second connection side.

  • Patent number: 7988483
    Abstract: In a connector including a to-be-fitted portion for fitting to a mating connector in a first direction and a conductive shell covering the to-be-fitted portion, the shell is provided with a flange extending from a shell body in a second direction crossing the first direction and with a to-be-locked portion extending from the flange in the first direction. When attaching the connector to an attaching object, the flange is caused to face one surface of the attaching object in the first direction and the to-be-locked portion is caused to pass through the attaching object in the first direction so as to project from an opposite surface of the attaching object.

  • Patent number: 7229299
    Abstract: In a connector for use in an electronic card having a circuit board and a case containing the circuit board, a housing holds a ground connection terminal and a contact. The ground connection terminal has a press-fit portion press-fitted to and held by the housing, a contacting portion connected to the press-fit portion and adapted to be contacted with the case, and a terminal portion connected to the press-fit portion and adapted to be connected to the circuit board. The housing has a guide portion for guiding the contacting portion when the press-fit portion is press-fitted to the housing. The contacting portion is connected to the case with elastic displacement inside the guide portion.

  • Patent number: 7121846
    Abstract: In a card-like electronic device, a circuit board is interposed between a first cover and a second cover which is faced to the first cover and separable from the first cover towards a first direction. A connector is connected to the circuit board. The first cover has an engaging member including a movable latch and a spring portion urging the latch towards a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The second cover has an engaged member including a latch receiving portion for receiving the latch. The latch is urged by the spring portion to a position where movement of the latch receiving portion in the first direction is locked.

  • Patent number: 6991480
    Abstract: In a card connector to be connected to a card, a defining member defines an inserting region for receiving the card inserted in an inserting direction. The card connector includes an eject mechanism for ejecting the card from the inserting region in an ejecting direction opposite to the inserting direction. A plurality of ejecting members are adapted to be engaged with the card in the inserting region in the inserting and the ejecting directions and movable with respect to the defining member independently of one another. A linking mechanism selectively links the ejecting members to each other in response to insertion of the card in the inserting region.
