  • Patent number: 8998651
    Abstract: An electric power plug includes an insulative body having a first bar and a second bar at a space. The first bar is longitudinally formed with only one first channel for receiving a first plug terminal. The second bar is longitudinally formed with a plurality of second channels for receiving a plurality of second plug terminals. An electric power receptacle includes an insulative seat having a first trough for connecting the first bar and a second trough for connecting the second bar. The first and second troughs are arranged at a space. The first trough is provided with only one first receptacle terminal. The second trough is provided with a plurality of second receptacle terminals which are parallel with each other and arranged at a space.

  • Patent number: 8403710
    Abstract: An electric connector includes a socket and a plug. The socket includes a first insulating block and a first terminal and the first insulating block has a positioning notch and a positioning hole. The plug includes a second insulating block and a second terminal, and the second insulating block has a plug end and a fool-proof block protruded from the plug end and extended towards the socket. The second insulating block includes a positioning hook arm formed on the other opposite side. When the second insulating block is plugged into the first insulating block, the fool-proof block is stopped at the positioning notch, and the positioning hook arm is latched into the positioning hole, such that the first terminals are electrically coupled to the second terminals, so as to assure a proper connection of the electric connectors and prevent damages caused by improper connection of the electric connectors.

  • Patent number: 7713079
    Abstract: A card edge connector includes an insulating body having opposite lateral side frames for mounting respectively two metallic pieces thereon, and terminals mounted in the insulating body and coupled to a circuit board. When an insertion side with conductive terminals of an electronic card is inserted into an insertion groove in the insulating body, the conductive terminals contact respectively contact portions of the terminals extending into the insertion groove. Each metallic piece includes first and second resilient arms extending from a base, and a carved metallic piece extending from the first resilient arm. When the insertion side of the electronic card is inserted into the insertion groove, each lateral side of the electronic card is clamped between the anchoring member and the second resilient arm of a corresponding metallic piece, and is formed with a notch engaging a projection of the second resilient arm of the corresponding metallic piece.
