Abstract: An electrical socket assembly includes an insulating body, a plurality of first terminals, and a plurality of second terminals. The insulating body has first terminal grooves formed on a lower side thereof, and second terminal grooves formed on an upper side thereof. The first terminals are respectively positioned in the first terminal grooves for transmitting non-USB-compliant signals, and the second terminals are respectively positioned in the second terminal grooves for transmitting and receiving USB-compliant signals. The electrical socket assembly may be coupled with a standard USB plug connector for transmission of the USB-compliant signals, and with another plug connector for transmission of the non-USB-compliant signals.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes terminal pieces mounted respectively in mounting holes in a substrate. Each terminal piece has an intermediate portion having a first part connected to a connecting end portion exposed from the respective mounting hole, and a second part connected to a contact end portion opposite to the connecting end portion. A protecting block is disposed adjacent to the substrate, is formed with through holes for permitting extension of the terminal pieces therethrough, respectively, and is operable so as to move from a first position, where the contact end portion of each terminal piece is received in the respective through hole, to a second position, where the contact end portion and the second part of the intermediate portion of each terminal piece are disposed outwardly of the respective through hole and are exposed from the protecting block. A biasing unit biases the protecting block to the first position.

Abstract: An electronic card connector includes a slider operable between a card-inserting mode and a card-releasing mode, and a positioning mechanism. The positioning mechanism includes a positioning member, a biasing element, and a second engaging element. The positioning member has a first sliding face, a second sliding face cooperating therewith to define a first corner with the first sliding face, and a first engaging element. In the card-inserting mode, operation of the slider results in relative movement between the second engaging element and the positioning member along a first path such that the second engaging element abuts against and slides along the first sliding face by the urging action of the biasing element, and turns around the first corner to engage releasably the first engaging element.

Abstract: A spring-loaded electrical contact includes a conductive terminal disposed movably in a receiving space that is confined by a U-shaped base part of a conductive mounting seat. The conductive terminal is operable to move from a released state, where a first end portion of the conductive terminal is spaced apart from an intermediate plate portion of the base part, to a pressed state, where the first end portion of the conductive terminal is proximate to the intermediate plate portion of the base part and where an intermediate stop portion of the conductive terminal is clamped between two clamping pieces formed respectively on two lateral plate portions of the base part. A biasing member is disposed in the receiving space and is mounted between the intermediate stop portion and the intermediate plate portion for biasing the conductive terminal to the released state.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing and packaging an integrated circuit includes following steps: pressure a continuous pin material and a base board area at first; then cut off pin material into several pin units, accommodate each pin units into respective position in a mould, and ejecting plastic into the mould gap to shape a pin unit, then remove waste part of the pin material after removing down the mould parts; put four pin units and a base board into a rectangle mould, then eject plastic again into mould gap, after that cut off waste part of the base board to attain an IC socket; stick an IC chip on top of the base board of the IC socket and wire it. Finally, cover and stick a panel on the IC socket to finish the whole IC packaging procedures.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a connector housing and a plurality of conductive terminals. Each of the conductive terminals is mounted on the housing, includes a conductive terminal body with first and second contact surfaces, and is provided with a dielectric coating at portions other than the first and second contact surfaces, thereby insulating each of the terminals from adjacent ones on the housing.
