  • Publication number: 20080009161
    Abstract: An electrical card connector (100) for electrically connecting with an electrical card (6) includes an insulator (1) defining a receiving space (14), a number of contacts (2) retained in the insulator, a pair of latching portions (45) and a shield (5) covering the insulator (1). The shield includes a pair of fingers (512) corresponding to the latching portions (45). Each finger defines a cantilever (5121) extending into the receiving space (14) and a latch member (5122) for engaging with the latching portion (45). When a complementary card is inserted into the connector, it abuts against the cantilever (5121) and lifts the latch member (5122) outwardly. The latch member (5122) disengages from the latching portion (45). The card is further inserted in the connector and electrically connects the contacts thereof.

  • Patent number: 7241153
    Abstract: A portable storage device (1) includes a memory device with a USB interface (20) and a protective cap (30) detachably mated with the USB interface. The USB interface may be a conventional one, which has a metal shell (21) defined pair of holes (213) therein. The protective cap has a case (31), a spring member (34) mounted therein and a button (33) engaged the spring member.

  • Patent number: 7223574
    Abstract: A portable storage device (1) includes a memory device with a USB mating port (20) and a protective cap (30) detachably mated with the USB mating port in a mating direction. The USB mating port has an engagement portion (211). The protective cap includes a case (31) for receiving the USB mating port and a latching member (32) on the case. The latching defines a retaining portion (324) thereon to engage with the engagement portion (211) of the USB mating port. The latching member is movable between a disengaged position and an engaged position in the mating direction to thereby engage/disengage the mating port with/from the cap.

  • Patent number: 7214075
    Abstract: A portable memory device (1) includes a memory unit, a USB mating port (20) electrically connecting with the memory unit, a protective case (30) detachably mated with the USB mating port and a plastic waterproof member (32) secured in the case. The plastic waterproof member is pressed against a periphery (213) of the USB mating port to seal a gap between the USB mating port and the case. The USB mating port is protected in the case form water penetration. Moreover, the plastic waterproof member imposes a force rising from plastic deformation of the plastic waterproof member on the USB mating port. Therefore, the USB mating port and the case is firmly engaged with each other.
