Abstract: The present disclosure provides a dye ribbon for sublimation thermal transfer printing including a ribbon body and a dye layer. The ribbon body includes a substrate and a lubricating and thermal resistant material. The lubricating and thermal resistant material is dispersed in the substrate, and the content of which is 0.5-20% of weight of the substrate. The dye layer is disposed on the ribbon body.

Abstract: An electrical connector (1) includes a dielectric housing (10), a plurality of terminals (13) received in the housing, and a retention mechanism (12) pivotally attached to the housing. The housing defines a plurality of terminal-passages (108) and first mating members (103). Each of terminals includes a bent portion (134). The retention mechanism has an elongate stopper member (120). A pair of cantilevers (122) depends from the stopper member. A second mating member (1222) is formed on each of the cantilevers, for engaging one of the first mating members. Thus the stopper member is rotatable between a first position in which the stopper is protected from thermal warp or deformation, and a second position in which the terminals are secured in the corresponding terminal-passages.

Abstract: A mold for forming a dielectric housing for a card edge connector, wherein the housing has an elongated body defining a central slot for receiving a lower edge of a memory module. The elongated body has two lateral ends each formed with a tower for pivotably receiving an ejector for latching or ejecting the memory module received by the connector. A number of contact passageways are defined beside the slot for receiving a number of contacts therein for electrically engaging with golden fingers on the lower edge of the memory module. The mold has a gate located proximate to a lateral end face of one of the towers of the housing to be formed by the mold, and a number of core pins in the cavity for forming the contact passageways. The core pins located nearest to the gate have a cross section larger than that of the other core pins so that they are strong enough to withstand a fluctuation of a high pressure for injecting molten plastics into the mold.
