Abstract: An electrical connector for open/close type includes a base member, at least a terminal member to setup on the base member and a cover member to fit on top of base member. An interlock member connects the cover member with the base member. The electrical connector allows the cover member to be opened and closed corresponding to the body member. Besides, a receiving space is formed between the cover member and with the base member receiving a plug of the jack module. The cover keeps parallel to the base member in order to reduce the thickness of the electrical connector.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a base plate with an accommodating groove, an integrated circuit board, and a card-ejecting device. The accommodating groove has an open front end and a closed rear end, and is adapted to receive a smart card therein. The smart card has a front end extending from the front end of the groove, and a rear end that is spaced apart from the rear end of the groove at a small distance. When the front end of the smart card is pressed inwardly to move the rear end of the smart card to the rear end of the groove, and is subsequently released, the card-ejecting device pushes the smart card outwardly relative to the connector. Accordingly, the smart card can be ejected with ease.

Abstract: A card connector includes a base plate with an accommodating groove, a card-ejecting device, and a retainer for retaining the card-ejecting device on the baseplate. The accommodating groove has an open front end and a closed rear end, and is adapted to receive a card therein. The card has a front end extending from the front end of the groove, and a rear end that is spaced apart from the rear end of the groove at a small distance.

Abstract: A right angle electrical connector is provided for surface mounting to a printed circuit board. The connector includes a dielectric housing having a mounting face. A conductive boardlock is secured to the housing and includes a first substantially planar portion having a leg projecting beyond the mounting face for locking reception in a boardlock-receiving aperture in the printed circuit board. A second substantially planar portion of the boardlock has a foot for connection to a ground trace on the printed circuit board. The first and second portions are substantially perpendicular to each other and to the foot for resisting movement of the connector relative to the printed circuit board in different perpendicular directions.

Each cavity includes a resilient terminal having a mounting portion, a leaf spring portion parallel to the direction of contact mating, a free end portion and a contact structure between the leaf spring portion and the free end portion. A pin engagement surface on the contact structure confined substantially within the lateral bounds of the leaf spring portion has a flat portion and a ramp portion inclined relative to the contact mating direction and causes the leaf spring portion to flex in a direction perpendicular to the mating direction.

Abstract: An ejector system is disclosed for use with an IC card connector apparatus. The ejector system includes a header connector into which an IC card is loaded and from which it is ejected. An ejector mechanism is operatively associated with the header connector and is effective to eject the IC card therefrom. The mechanism includes a push-rod reciprocally mounted on an appropriate support structure with a distal end thereof operatively associated with an ejector lever and a proximal end thereof opposite the distal end. A push-button is pivotally mounted on the proximal end of the push-rod for pivotal movement between an operative position projecting generally coaxially of the push-rod and an inoperative position rotated from the operative position to one side of the push-rod. Complementary interengaging detents are provided between the push-button and the push-rod to resist pivotal movement of the push-button from its operative position to its inoperative position.
