Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulator defining an interior space for receiving therein a pin module formed by embedding conductive pins on an insert. Retention members are provided in the interior space between the insulator and the pin module including a first bound to limit the movement of the pin module in a first direction and a second bound to limit the movement of the pin module in an opposite second direction thereby effectively retaining the pin module in the insulator. The modularization of the pins received in the insulator allows the pins to be assembled into the insulator much more efficiently while the retention members effectively prevent the pin module from separating from the insulator.

Abstract: A card cartridge connector having a card ejecting mechanism comprises a housing forming a mating face and a supporting face orthogonal to the mating face. A plurality of passageways each receiving a terminal therein is defined through the housing. A pair of guiding pillars extend from traverse ends of the housing and defines a receiving space therebetween. Each supporting pillar forms a guiding groove in an inner side thereof. At least a tunnel is defined in one of the guiding pillars. A card ejecting mechanism includes an ejecting tab movably supported on a fulcrum formed on the supporting face. The ejecting tab has a biasing pad detachably supported on the mating face. A push arm is movably disposed within the tunnel and forms a head and an actuating end. The actuating end abuts a bearing portion of the ejecting tab whereby when the push rod is actuated, the biasing pad is moved away from the mating face to push an inserted card outward.

Abstract: An ejecting mechanism for use with a card cartridge connector comprises a casing integrally formed with the card cartridge connector. A push rod is movably disposed within the casing, a biasing tab is movably disposed within the housing. The biasing tab forms a mating face engaged with an actuating end of the push rod, and an ejecting face extending into a receiving slot defined within the card cartridge connector. Therefore, when the push rod is actuated, a card inserted within the receiving slot is ejected.
