  • Patent number: 7445514
    Abstract: An electrical connector comprises a housing and a number of terminals residing in the housing. Each of terminals comprises a base portion, a contact portion extending from the base portion, and a retention portion rising from the base portion. The housing defines a number of terminal-mounting holes each with a receiving cavity and an engaging cavity. Along a longitudinal direction of the housing, the width of the receiving cavity is greater than the thickness of the retention portion and the width of the engaging cavity is less than the thickness of the retention portion.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7179139
    Abstract: An electrical connector (100) comprises a terminal block (1) and a plurality of terminals (2). The terminal block (1) comprises an inner wall (11), an outer wall (12) opposite to the inner wall (11) and a plurality of receiving slots (10) defined between the inner wall (11) and the outer wall (12) for receiving terminals (2). A plurality of terminals (2) are assembled to the receiving slots (10) of the terminal block (1) and each terminal (2) has a contacting portion (21), a soldering portion (23) and a base portion (22) connecting with the contacting portion (21) and the soldering portion (23). Wherein each receiving slot (10) further defines a projecting board (101) extending from the inner wall (11), a supporting portion (103) forming on the top of the outer wall (12) and a channel (102) defined between the projecting board (101) and the supporting portion (103), the projecting board (101) and the supporting portion (103) respectively supports two sides of the base portion (22) of the terminal (2).

  • Patent number: 7104820
    Abstract: A card connector includes an insulating housing (1), a number of contacts (2) and a shell (4). The insulating housing (1) defines a card receiving space (15) with a card insertion direction and comprises an engaging portion (114, 102). The contacts (2) are retained in the insulating housing (1) and exposed into the card receiving space (15). The shell (4) covered the insulating housing (1) comprises a resilient piece (411, 421) corresponding to the engaging portion (114, 102) of the insulating housing (1). The resilient piece (411, 421) of the shell (4) engages with the engaging portion (114, 102) of the insulating housing to urge the resilient piece to slightly distort elastically after the shell (4) is assembled to the insulating housing (1).

  • Publication number: 20060110979
    Abstract: An electrical connector (100) includes an insulative housing (1), a first and a second signal contacts (2, 3) received in the insulative housing (1), a conductive shell (4) enclosing the insulative housing (1) and a grounding contact (5). The grounding contact (5) extends upwardly from the conductive shell to free space with bending at least one time. The grounding contact has a bending arm (51) and a tangent portion (52) formed at an end thereof. The grounding contact (5) extends from the shell (4), thus, saving the space of insulative housing (1). The grounding contact (5) and the signal contacts (2, 3) abut against the mating components of a circuit board, thereby realizing the convenient replacement of the electrical connector (100).

  • Patent number: 6793526
    Abstract: A stacked connector includes a base dock connecting to an electric circuit. The base dock has an insert member mounted thereon. The insert member includes at least two insert slots and is encased by a metal shell from outside. The rear side of the insert member is coupled with a transfer connection circuit. The base dock has connection terminals directly connecting to the electric circuit. The connection terminals in each insert slot are extended to the rear side of the insert member to connect to the transfer connection circuit. Thereby the length of the connection terminals may be reduced to lower the cost and enhance the structural sturdiness and reduce interference between the terminals.
