  • Patent number: 6386909
    Abstract: A memory card connector which comprises a header and a carrier connected to the header, wherein the header is provided with a plurality of pins extended in both inward and outward directions. The inward pins are used for inserting a memory card to be received in the carrier. A vertical circuit board is electrically and securely connected to the outward pins of the header. The lower end of the vertical circuit board is detachably inserted into a female connector securely mounted to the surface of a mainboard for electrical connection. The height of the circuit board can be set according to the requirement of a specific application of the memory card connector so that the space between the memory card connector and the mainboard can be properly utilized.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5713747
    Abstract: An assembly of stacked memory card connectors comprising a lower memory card connector and an upper memory card connector superimposed over the lower memory card connector. Each memory card connector comprises a header and a carrier connected to the header, wherein the header is provided with a plurality of pins extended in both inward and outward directions. The inward pins are used for inserting a memory card to be received in the carrier. A lower and a higher vertical circuit board is electrically connected to the outward pins of each header. These two vertical circuit boards are positioned in parallel spaced relation. The lower end of each vertical circuit board is detachably inserted into a female connector securely mounted to the surface of a main board for electrical connection.
