  • Publication number: 20110104920
    Abstract: [Object] To provide a card socket having a structure that achieves a low profile. [Solving Means] The base portion of a card frame is basically constituted by a base frame (100) made of metal. Resin is used only for parts where absolutely necessary, such as a housing (200) for retaining contacts (300) and a switch piece holding housing (700) that retains a second switch piece (620). Thus, the resin thickness can be reduced while maintaining the strength of the card socket, so that the structure of the card socket is simplified and a low profile can be achieved.

  • Publication number: 20110070776
    Abstract: To provide a connector which is capable of reducing the possibility that a cover is removed due to a cause other than an operation of removing a card when the cover is in a locked position, even if a height of the connector is reduced. A cover 7 which covers an upper surface of an IC card 21 accommodated in an accommodating section 33 of a housing 3 is pivotally mounted on the housing. The cover 7 is formed by a cover main body 71 which is opposed to the upper surface of the IC card 21 accommodated in the housing 3, arm portions 74 and 74 which are connected to the cover main body 71, shaft portions 75 and 75 which are connected to the arm portions 74 and 74, respectively, and are pivotally supported by respective slots 321a formed in respective side plates 312 of the housing 3. The arm portions 74 and 74 are capable of being elastically deformed, and being brought into contact with opposite sides of the IC card 21 accommodated in the housing 3.

  • Patent number: 7063552
    Abstract: In a connector for electrically connecting a mating object, a cover 12 is used for pressing the mating object against a contact 16 held by a housing 11. The cover is held on the housing 11 to be rotatable in a first direction and to be movable in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The cover is kept in a connected state by locking portions 14 and 21 which are engaged with each other in a direction opposite to the first direction and in the second direction. Upon disconnection of the mating object, the cover is rotated in the first direction to release the engagement of the locking portions and is moved in the second direction, thereby allowing the mating object to be disconnected.
