  • Patent number: 8282431
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a lengthwise housing and two rows of terminals. The housing defines two rows of passageways running through opposite first surface and second surface thereof to load with terminals. Each terminal includes a middle portion and two contacting arms extending from opposite ends of the middle portion. The two contacting arms of the terminals respectively extend beyond the first and second surfaces and curving inwards. Each terminal further includes a stopping rib and a spring rib at opposite lateral sides of the middle portion. Each passageway defines a first stopping shoulder adjacent to the second surface and a second stopping shoulder adjacent to the first surface. The stopping ribs are lodged against the first stopping shoulder or the spring ribs are lodged against the second stopping shoulder so that the terminals are moveable limited in the passageways.

  • Patent number: 8067109
    Abstract: A battery holder for a button-type battery (1) includes a holder body having a base wall (100) thereof for receiving the battery, and positive and negative terminals (20, 30) assembled to the holder body. The negative terminal has short and long spring elements (311, 315) defining first and second supporting point (311A, 315B) respectively, such that in an initial released position, the button-type battery is lifted up by the first and second supporting points bearing against the base wall, and in a fully released position, that battery is lifted by the second supporting point against the base wall with the first supporting point leaving away from the base wall. The above spring elements provides two-stage elastic forces, for ease of the user to release the battery from the battery holder.
