Abstract: A light emitting device effectively utilizes the light emanating from a semiconductor luminous element, and can acquire clear and high-luminance light emission without a color dapple. The light emitting device is configured as follows. A transparent resin containing a wavelength converting material is provided on a reflecting surface of a base member such as a case, a board and a lead frame. The transparent semiconductor luminous element is bonded and fixed on the transparent resin. A wavelength of light emitted from a lower surface of the semiconductor luminous element is converted by the wavelength converting material, and the converted light is reflected on the reflecting surface. The reflected light is mixed with light emitted from an upper surface of the semiconductor luminous element, and the mixed light is radiated.

Abstract: A card connector reliably holds an inserted card by a compact mechanism to prevent the card from coming off due to unexpected external forces. The card 10 is formed with the recessed portion 18 for engagement with the locking piece, and the elastic locking piece 50 is attached to the eject member 41 that slides together with the card 10. The elastic locking piece 50 is urged away from the card 10 so that when the elastic locking piece 50 is elastically reset to its original shape, the locking portion 50b disengages from the recessed portion 18 of the card 10. The locking piece guide means 60 guides and elastically deforms the elastic locking piece 50 to engage the locking portion 50b with the recessed portion 18 when the card is inserted and, when the card is ejected, resets the elastic locking piece 50 to disengage the locking portion 50b.

Abstract: A connector for a memory card 11 comprises the housing 12, the plate 14, the guide plate 16, the lock system 18, and the connector pin keeping part 20. Because the connector pin keeping part 20 is formed as horizontally bridged to a rear surface of the housing 12, and also the press-fitting part 40d of the connector pin 40 is press-fitted with a perpendicular state, the connector for a memory card 11 not only can be miniaturized but also can achieve a reduced thickness by restricting an amount protruding to a rear side within a small volume. Therefore, because a shape of the connector pin 40 is bent like a L-shape and the fixing hole 20a of the connector pin keeping part 20 is extended in an up-down direction and formed in the housing 12, it can promote the miniaturization and reduced thickness of the connector for a memory card 11. As a result, reducing a weight of the connector for a memory card 11 can also be attained.
