  • Patent number: 7938656
    Abstract: A card connector (100) used for receiving a card (B) having a notch at a lateral edge thereof, comprises an insulative housing (10), a number of terminals (30) and two conductive pieces (40) retained in the insulative housing, and an ejector (50). The insulative housing defines a card receiving room for accommodating the card and a receiving cavity (109) communicating with the card receiving room. The ejector slides along the receiving cavity and comprises a slider (51) engaging with the card and moving along with the card. A conductive plate (80) is secured on the slider of the ejector. The conductive plate actively moves beneath the conductive pieces and slightly contacts the conductive pieces to establish an electrical connection between the conductive pieces through the conductive plate.

  • Patent number: 7806739
    Abstract: A battery connector (100) includes an insulative housing (10) and a power contact (30A), a signal contact (30B) and a grounding contact (30C) received in the insulative housing. The insulative housing defines a mating face (101). Each of the power contact, the signal contact and the grounding contact has a contacting portion (307) extending out of the mating face of the insulative housing. A distance from the contacting portion of the power contact to the mating face is larger than a distance from the contacting portion of the signal contact to the mating face.

  • Patent number: 7708597
    Abstract: An electrical card connector 100 includes a dielectric housing or base 1, a number of contacts 2 received in the housing or base 1, and a metal shell 3 covering the housing or base 1, both sides of the housing or base 1 having passageways or positioning slot 10, both side of the metal shell 3 having beams 321 embedded into the passageways or positioning slot 10. The beams 321 mating the passageways or positioning slot 10 in an elongated direction increase the function area between beams 321 and passageways or positioning slot 10, which makes the electrical card connector 100 stable.
