  • Publication number: 20110034085
    Abstract: An electrical connector adapted for electrical connection with an electronic card. The electrical connector includes a plurality of conductive terminals, each of the terminals being bent and having a fixed segment, and a connecting segment bent from one end of the fixed segment, and resilient segment bent from the other end of the fixed segment at one end thereof. Further there is a contact segment bent from the other end of the resilient segment and having an uneven surface that serves as a wiping unit and that is adapted to move over the electronic card to wipe out dust and contaminants from the electronic card when the electronic card is assembled to the electrical connector.

  • Publication number: 20100112834
    Abstract: A manufacturing process for a plurality of conductive terminals, comprising the steps of: (1) punching a flat metallic plate to form a carrier and a plurality of spaced-apart terminal bodies, and blanking each of the terminal bodies to form an uneven surface, so that the uneven surface serves as a wiping unit; (2) bending each of the terminal bodies to form a curved contact segment, a resilient segment, a fixed segment, and a connecting segment, such that the uneven surface is located at the contact segment; (3) assembling the bent terminal bodies to an insulating housing; and (4) cutting and removing the carrier from the terminal bodies so that the terminal bodies disposed on the insulating housing constitute the conductive terminals.
