  • Publication number: 20040259393
    Abstract: A conductive terminal is positioned in an insulative housing to constitute an electrical connector. The insulative housing is formed with a first face and a second face opposite to each other, and has a plurality of terminal receiving cavities extending through the first face and the second face. The conductive terminal includes a base for abutting against the corresponding terminal receiving cavity. The base has two adjacent sidewalls forming an angle therebetween. A resilient arm extends from one edge of one of the sidewalls in a direction of extension of the terminal receiving cavity. The resilient arm is bent back to approach the opposite other edge of the corresponding sidewall and forms a non-closed ring-shape with the corresponding sidewall. Two opposite ends of the resilient arm which are farthest away from the corresponding sidewall are respectively formed with a first contact portion and a second contact portion.

  • Publication number: 20040259407
    Abstract: A latch device is used for a socket connector and includes a base, a pressing frame and a pressing rod. The pressing frame is pivotally connected to the base and has a flange on one side thereof. The pressing rod is pivotally arranged on the base and has a protrusion. The socket connector is arranged between the base and the pressing frame and a CPU is mounted on the socket connector. The pressing rod is operated such that the protrusion is pressed against the flange. The pressing frame is pressed against the CPU, whereby the CPU is also retained on the socket connector.

The insulative housing is formed with a first face and a second face opposite to each other, and has a plurality of terminal receiving cavities extending through the first face and the second face. The conductive terminal includes a base for abutting against the corresponding terminal receiving cavity to achieve positioning. The base has two spaced-apart opposite sidewalls. Each sidewall is formed with a first edge and a second edge opposite to each other in a direction of extension of the terminal receiving cavity. A plurality of resilient arms extend outwardly from certain of the edges of the sidewalls such that the first and second contact portions of the resilient arms are respectively and electrically connected to an electronic component and a circuit board to transmit signals between the electronic component and the circuit board through the conductive terminal.

  • Patent number: 6802744
    Abstract: An electric cable connector includes a connector housing, a cable, and a wire management member. The connector housing includes a plurality of terminals, the terminals each having a tail extending out of one end of the connector housing for electrically soldering to respective wires of the cable. The wire management member is joined to the connector housing, and includes a plurality of terminal grooves adapted to receive the tail of each of the terminals, thereby preventing the tail of each terminal from being suspended in the air, and a plurality of wire grooves adapted to receive the wires of the cable for enabling the wires to be respectively positively soldered to the tail of each of the terminals. Positioning rods are also included on the wire management member to be received within cavities in the connector housing.

  • Publication number: 20020004337
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an electrically insulative body and a conductive shield. The electrically insulative body has a plurality of terminals. Each terminal has a tail respectively clamped on a circuit board. The electrically insulative body has two backwardly extended locating blocks at two sides. Each locating block has a locating groove which receives the circuit board upon connection of the terminals to the respective contacts of the circuit board. The locating blocks also include flexible arms with upright portions adapted for engaging into respective retaining apertures on the circuit board. The conductive shield includes backwardly extended grounding arms which also include retainers adapted for engaging into respective apertures on the circuit board. The retainers and retaining apertures secure the connector to the circuit board against vertical as well as forward-backward/leftwards-rightwards horizontal displacement.

  • Publication number: 20010034163
    Abstract: An electrical connector is provided which includes an insulating housing having at least one terminal receiving portion formed by a first insert groove and a second insert groove communicated with the and first a second insert groove, and a conductive terminal received in said at least one terminal receiving portion and including a body, a connecting arm, a connecting portion and a conducting portion. The second insert groove has a first end. The body is located in the first insert groove, and has a first side and a second side opposite to the first side. The connecting extends transversely from the second side of the body in a direction distal to the first side of the body. The connecting portion extends from the first side of the body in a direction distal to the second side of the body, and can achieve electrical connection with a circuit board. The conducting portion extends upwardly from a free end of the connecting arm into the second insert groove.

  • Publication number: 20010021609
    Abstract: A battery connector is provided, which includes an insulation housing having at least one terminal receiving groove, and at least one conductive terminal disposed in the one terminal receiving groove, the terminal including a body, a connecting portion that extends from one side of the body and is electrically connectable with a circuit board and a mating portion which extends from the other side of the body. The mating portion includes a first support arm and a second support arm. The first support arm has a first contact portion. The second support arm, parallel to the first support arm, has a second contact portion. The first and second contact portions are directed toward the opposed contact arms and are staggered from each other. The first and second contact portions achieve electrical contact with a mating blade terminal inserted therebetween, thereby increasing normal contact force of the conductive terminal contact.
