The terminals have vertical contacting sections (91), vertical connecting sections (93), horizontal retention sections (92) connecting the contacting sections with the connecting sections, and soldering sections (94) extending horizontally from the connecting sections.

Abstract: An electronic card connector (1) for electrically connecting an electronic card to a printed circuit board (PCB) includes a dielectric housing (10) including a bottom wall (14), a contact module (20) having a dielectric base (21) receiving a plurality of conductive contacts (22) and a pair of eaves (212) protruding laterally from two opposite sides of the base. A through opening (11) is defined in the bottom wall and a pair of holding steps (12) protrude inwardly from two opposite sides of the opening. The contact module is embedded in the opening of the housing, the two eaves respectively supported on the pair of holding steps and the base falling into the opening.

Abstract: An electrical connector (1) adapted to mate with a complementary connector (90) which has a tongue portion (91) with a plurality of conductive terminals (92) disposed thereon, includes an insulative housing (50) having a mating portion (53) protruding forwardly therefrom and a receiving cavity (55) defined therethrough, and a plurality of conductive contacts (60) received in the cavity of the housing. An upper wall (531) and a lower wall (532) form the mating portion, with the receiving cavity being defined therebetween. The contacts are positioned on the lower wall. A pair of engaging bars (551) protrudes from the upper wall into the receiving cavity. When the mating portion mates with the tongue portion, the engaging bars downwardly push the tongue portion to ensure a reliable connection between the conductive terminals and corresponding contacts.

Abstract: An audio jack designed to be located between a printed circuit board and a fixing portion of an electronic device for fixing the audio jack. The audio jack includes a housing (1) and a number of contacts (21, 22, 23, 24, 25) retained in the housing. The housing defines a plug-insertion hole. Each contact includes a base (213, 223, 232, 242, 251), a projecting portion (214, 224, 236, 243, 255) projecting from the base and a tail portion (216, 225, 235, 246, 253) for resiliently abutting against the printed circuit board. At least one of the contacts has a locating tab (211, 221, 231, 244) bent from the base thereof and retained in the housing for preventing movement of the contact relative to the housing in a top-to-bottom direction.
