Abstract: A jack, which would cause hardly a defective connection even if a mechanical deformation is received when attaching or using it, will be offered. The electric junction of contacts (3), (4) and leads (51), (52) is done by crimping, the crimping portions (3c), (4b) are arranged in a housing (1) of the jack which is not exposed easily to a mechanical deformation, and, in addition, the structure is so made that the mechanical force doesn't work easily on the crimping portions (3c), (4b) also by the leads (51), (52) extending from the jack.

Abstract: A frame kit for an IC card including a frame for defining an internal space of an IC card, a first panel integrated with the frame and having a first locking member which projects toward the internal space from an inner wall of the frame, and a second panel having a second locking member which is engageable with the first locking member of the first panel inside the frame. The first panel is integrated with the frame by simultaneous molding, for example. The second locking member is preferably composed of an elastic member.

Abstract: A CF card can be shifted in position with respect to a card connecting adapter between a position where it is projected from the housing of the card connecting adapter and a position where it is prevented from projecting from the housing of the card connecting adapter. When the CF card is set at the position where it is prevented from projecting from the housing of the card connecting adapter, the antenna mounting surface of the CF card with an antenna is prevented from projecting from the body of a notebook personal computer. On the other hand, when the CF card is set at the position where it is projected from the housing, the antenna mounting surface is projected from the PC card slot.

Abstract: A PC card frame kit is provided which comprises: a frame for retaining a board assembly having a connector mounted on a board; and a pair of panels for covering upper and lower faces of the board assembly mounted in the frame. The pair of panels each have a pivotal engagement piece provided on a rear edge thereof for pivotal engagement with the frame, front lock engagement pieces provided on front ends of opposite side edges thereof for lock engagement between the panels, and a press-fit piece provided on at least one of the side edges thereof to be press-fitted in the frame. The frame has a pivotal engagement piece receiving groove formed in a rear beam thereof for receiving the pivotal engagement piece in a rotatable manner, and a press-fit groove formed in at least one of opposite side beams associated with the press-fit piece for receiving the press-fit piece.

Abstract: An IC-incorporating card has a grounding structure which ensures reliable grounding of metal panels thereof and employs a connector which is usable in common for cards having different thicknesses. The card includes a board mounted with an integrated circuit, a resin frame defining an internal space for accommodating the board, first and second metal panels attached to the resin frame to define the internal space, a connector mounted on the board, and a grounding structure for grounding the first and second metal panels. The connector has first and second grounding conductor elements. The first metal panel is connected to the first grounding conductor element via a grounding connection element embedded in the resin frame. The second metal panel is directly connected to the second grounding conductor element.

Abstract: A memory card adaptor card which adapts a memory card compliant with a first standard to a memory card slot compliant with a second standard different from the first standard for electrical connection therebetween. The adaptor card includes a grounding connection mechanism for electrically connecting a grounding contact of the memory card to a grounding circuit of the memory card slot. The grounding connection mechanism includes, for example, a contact spring piece which is to be brought into resilient contact with a contact portion of the memory card and a conductive cover of the adaptor card.

Abstract: A card connecting adapter for connecting, to a card slot of one standard, a card of the other standard. The adapter has a first connecting portion corresponding to the card slot, a second connecting portion corresponding to the card, a plurality of terminals for electrical connection to the card, shutter mechanism, and locking mechanism. The shutter mechanism has a shutter member displaceable between a protecting position where the terminals are protected from the exterior and a connecting position where the terminals are exposed, and interlocking mechanism for displacing the shutter member in synchronization with operations for mounting/removing the card on/from the second connecting portion. The locking mechanism includes a locking spring member that is disengaged from the shutter member upon being deformed by the mounting of the card, and that is returned to an engaged state with the shutter member by removal of the card.

Abstract: An IC card with an antenna including a frame for defining an internal space containing a circuit board and having an antenna mounting end surface, an antenna mounting portion provided in the vicinity of the antenna mounting end surface and having antenna mounting grooves formed in the frame, an antenna mounted on the antenna mounting portion, and an antenna fixing member joined to the antenna mounting portion. The antenna has an antenna main body arranged on the antenna mounting end surface, slip-off preventing members respectively engaged with antenna mounting grooves, and a connecting member electrically connected to the circuit board.
