  • Patent number: 7377814
    Abstract: A card connector comprises an insulative body (1) defining a first passageway (161) and a second passageway (162) above the first passageway (161) for receiving two cards (6, 7) different in sizes, a plurality of contacts (2) retained in the insulative body (1) and provided with first and second engaging portions (21, 22) exposed in corresponding passageways (161, 162) for electrically connecting with corresponding cards (6, 7), and a discriminating elastic device (41) disposed in an entrance of the first passageway (161) and having a resisting section (412) protruding towards a center of the first passageway (161). The resisting section (412) provides a slant (4121) extending upwardly towards the second passageway (162) at a terminal thereof.

  • Patent number: 7083440
    Abstract: A card connector comprises an insulating housing defining a card receiving space for accommodating two kinds of different cards in size; a plurality of contacts retained in the housing, an anti-misinsertion appliance disposed in the housing, and comprising a shutter member and an actuator member for controlling the shutter member to open and close and the actuator formed with a locking hole for engaging with a mating portion of the shutter member and having a guiding slope extending from the second card cavity to the first card cavity; and when the actuator member is moved outwardly from the card receiving space because of an outer force, the shutter member can open the card receiving space completely for receiving the corresponding card.
