  • Patent number: 7726979
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulating housing having sidewalls and end walls for defining a receiving groove, a number of contacts retained in the insulating housing, the contact including a mating beam extending into the receiving groove and a retaining beam retained in the sidewall. The contact further includes a tail portion extending out of the insulating housing from the retaining beam and a soldering portion formed on a tip end of the tail portion. The soldering portion is located between a highest point and a lowest point of the contact so that the height of the electrical connector upon a PCB can be reduced, which can also reduce the mating-height of the electrical connector after mating with a mating connector.

  • Publication number: 20100099293
    Abstract: An electrical card connector includes: an insulating housing having a mounting surface, a mating surface and a pair of sidewalls between the mounting surface and the mating surface; a plurality of contacts retained in the insulating housing. The contact has a base portion retained in the insulating housing, a contacting beam extending upwardly from the base portion for protruding on the mating surface, a connecting portion downwardly extending from the base portion and a soldering portion formed on a tip end of the connecting portion. The contact further includes a retaining beam connected with the connecting portion and extending inwardly for locking the connecting portion without moving outwardly, which can provide a stable and right position for the connecting portion and prevent the connecting portion from disengaging away from the passageway outwardly.

  • Publication number: 20100062654
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes: an insulating housing having a pair of sidewalls, a pair of endwalls and a bottom wall for defining a receiving room therebetween; a number of contacts retained in the insulating housing, each contact having a retaining beam, a moveable spring beam extending into the receiving room and a soldering leg extending from the retaining beam; and a sustaining member retained in the insulating housing and having a plurality of spring fingers located under the spring beam for sustaining said spring beam. The spring finger can provide an enough flexibility to the spring beam and also prevent the spring beam from being over distorted during a mating process.

  • Publication number: 20100055945
    Abstract: A contact used in an electrical connector for mounting onto a PCB includes: a base portion with a horizontal bottom surface and at least one locking hole formed on the bottom surface, a spring beam bended from one end of the base portion and extending upwardly to contact with a mating object, and at least one soldering pad received in the locking hole correspondingly. The soldering pad includes a pair of soldering legs with soldering surfaces thereon for soldering onto the PCB. The soldering material on the soldering surfaces of the soldering pads is not easy to creep upwardly onto the spring beam so that the spring beam can keep a good performance during a mating process with a mating object.

  • Publication number: 20100021223
    Abstract: A keyboard sustainer used in an electronic device includes a metal body having a base portion with a first sustaining surface thereon for sustaining a keyboard, and an insulative body engaged with the metal body. The insulative body defines a second sustaining surface for sustaining the keyboard. The metal body includes a plurality of retaining tabs extending from a side edge of the base portion and embedded in the insulative body by insert-molding to get a firmly engagement therebetween. The first sustaining surface is coplanar with the second sustaining surface so that the keyboard can be sustained steady without any invalid connection to the sustainer.
