  • Patent number: 7927123
    Abstract: A battery connector includes a receptacle connector and a plug connector coupled with the receptacle connector. The receptacle connector has an insulating housing defining a rectangular base and a rear wall extended upward from a rear end of the base to form a receiving room therebetween, and a plurality of terminals integrally molded in the insulating housing. The terminal has a contacting plate exposed in the receiving room. The plug connector has a base body and a plurality of mated terminals. The base body defines a plurality of terminal grooves at a bottom surface thereof, for receiving the mated terminals. The terminal groove has two receiving recess at two opposite lateral surfaces thereof and a resisting hole at a top surface thereof. The mated terminal includes a buckling tab buckled with the resisting hole and two stopping slices restraining against the rear sides of the receiving recess.

  • Patent number: 7887376
    Abstract: An audio jack connector includes an insulating housing having a rectangular base, and a plurality of contacts received in the insulating housing. A front end of the base is protruded forwards to form an insertion portion. A passageway is formed at a front of the insertion portion and extends into the base. The front end of the base has a holding slot located adjacent to the insertion portion, and a through slot which passes through an outer side of the holding slot and exposes the insulating housing. A shielding shell has a barrel surrounding the insertion portion, and a grounding element of substantially inverted-L shape connected with the barrel. The grounding element has a connecting slice extending rearwards from a rear edge of the barrel, inserting into the holding slot, and a grounding slice bent perpendicularly from an edge of the connecting slice, passing through the through slot.

  • Patent number: 7731509
    Abstract: A battery connector includes an insulating housing defining a receiving cavity cutting through a top surface and a bottom surface thereof and a conductor accommodated in the corresponding receiving cavity of the insulating housing. The conductor includes a substantial inverted U-shaped contacting portion exposed beyond the top surface of the insulating housing. A pair of substantially symmetrical elastic portions which extends downward from two lower free ends of the contacting portion respectively is restricted in the receiving cavity. A pair of soldering portions extends from two lower ends of the elastic portions. Because the conductor has a substantially symmetrical structure, the force acted on the conductor is shared out equally between the pair of elastic portions. Therefore, the conductor is prevented from offsetting when the battery connector is in use. It ensures the stable contact between the battery and battery connector.

  • Patent number: 7540769
    Abstract: A receptacle connector includes an insulating body, a plurality of terminals and a housing. The insulating body defines a plurality of cavities for receiving the terminals. The housing defines a receiving space for receiving the insulating body and a locking space for fixing a plug connector. Two opposite sides of a top wall of the housing respectively extend sideward to form a pair of wings. The wing defines a locking aperture passing through a top and a bottom thereof. The middle of the top wall protrudes upward to form a locking lump. The middle of the rear of the top wall protrudes upward to form a connecting section adjacent to the rear of the locking lump. The locking aperture, the locking lump and the connecting section respectively buckle with corresponding structures of a fixing device.

  • Patent number: 7399188
    Abstract: A receptacle connector includes a housing, an insulating body and a plurality of terminals. The housing defines a recess for receiving the insulating body. The insulating body defines cavities on top and bottom surfaces thereof. A back surface of the insulating body defines terminal channels communicating with the corresponding cavities. Each of the terminals has a base portion. The middle of the base portion extends forward to form an annular soldering portion and a connecting portion extends rearward from the base portion. A free end of the connecting portion bends to form a contact portion. The base portion and the connecting portion are received in the cavities and the contact portion is received in the terminal channel. The soldering portion protrudes out from a front surface of the insulating body for being soldered in a printed circuit board.
