Abstract: An electronic card connector (1) includes a body portion (2) including a head section (20) with terminals (3) retained therein and a pair of guiding arms (22), an ejecting lever (5) pivotally mounted on the head section for ejecting an inserted card, and a push rod (4) for driving the ejecting lever. One of the guiding arms defines a guiding channel (225) and has a contacting portion (226). The push rod is moveably received in the guiding channel and has a spring tab (44) abutting against the contacting portion of the guiding arm when the push rod moves in a card inserting direction, or in a card ejecting direction. The friction generated by movement of the spring tab along the contacting portion allows an operator to feel a better sense of operation of the card ejecting mechanism.

Abstract: A plastic optical fiber connector (3) includes a housing (32) defining a cavity (35) therein for receiving a complementary optical fiber plug (4), an active device (33) embedded in a rear of the housing, and a shielding door (31) disposed at a front of the housing. The shielding door includes two parallel slots (314) defined in opposite side walls (315) thereof, and a shaft (313) extending through the slots. Opposite ends of the shaft are fixed in a front portion of the housing. When the optical fiber plug is to be inserted into the cavity of the housing, the shielding door is manually rotated outwardly and upwardly from a closed position to an open position, and then slid into the housing. Once the optical fiber plug is withdrawn from the optical fiber connector, the shielding door is manually slid outwardly, and then rotatingly returned to its original closed position.

The second connector comprises a plurality of terminals (44) having solder tails (44b) retained to the terminal receiving slots of the second spacer.

Abstract: An ejecting mechanism for a card connector (10) comprises a push rod (30) movably mounted on the connector, an ejecting lever (40) pivotally mounted on the connector, and a pair of spring tabs (50) fixed on an insertion end of the connector. Each spring tab includes a fixed portion (56, 58) to fix the spring tab on the connector and a spring portion (52) having an inwardly extending section (54) adapted for engaging with a locking notch (108) of an inserted card (102), thereby ensuring a safe ejection of the card from the card connector.

Abstract: A card connector includes an insulative housing retaining a plurality of contacts. The contacts have connection portions and soldering portion. Two projections are formed on a front face of the housing defining a space therebetween for receiving a spacer. The spacer forces the connecting portions of the contacts to be aligned with each other in a horizontal surface for enhancing subsequent SMT operation.

Abstract: An electrical connector of the present invention for receiving a mating connector plug comprises an insulative housing, a shield covering a front of the insulative housing, and a terminal group received in the insulative housing for electrically connecting with the plug. The insulative housing has a front surface, and a pair of recesses in a pair of sidewalls. Each recess defines an inner wall and a bottom face. The shield comprises a front surface and a pair of securing tabs formed in a pair of side plates. Each securing tab has a pair of tines on the end. A distance from a front of each tine to a rearward side of the shield front surface is not more than the distance from the inner walls to the front surface of the insulative housing. In assembly, the tines of the securing tabs are bent into the corresponding recesses to securely engage with the inner walls and the bottom faces of the insulative housing.

Abstract: Depot drug formulations include the pharmaceutical itself and a three component release rate controlling matrix composition. The three components of the matrix composition are (1) a pH dependent gelling polymer such as an alginate component, (2) an enteric polymer component, such as Eudragit® L or S, and (3) a pH independent gelling polymer, such as hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose or polyethylene oxide. The drug release rate can be adjusted by changing the amount of one or more of these components of the composition.

Abstract: A power jack (1) comprises a housing (10), a conductive pin (40) extending longitudinally through a first chamber (121) of the housing, two contacts (20), (30) functioning as a switch and received in the housing, and a spring member (50) received in a second chamber (123) which is located below and in communication with the first chamber. The spring member includes a planar base (51) secured in the second chamber and a resilient finger (53) protruding into the first chamber. The finger provides an engaging section (54) at a free end thereof for pressing against an inserted complementary connector (200), thereby increasing a normal force applied by the power jack on the complementary connector. The spring member establishes only a mechanical connection with the complementary connector. An arm (34) of the contact (30) also exerts a force against the complementary connector, further increasing the normal force between the power jack and the complementary connector.
