  • Publication number: 20250071923
    Abstract: A card edge connector includes: a connector base having a card slot and plural terminals; a latch located at one end of the connector base for locking a card; and a releasing member. The releasing member includes two levers and a moving member, the levers are connected with the connector base in a pivoting manner, a first end of the lever is connected with the latch and an opposite second end of the lever is coupled to the moving member, wherein when the card is inserted into the slot and presses against the moving member downwards, the moving member drives the second ends of the levers to move downward, resulting in the first ends moving upwards to push the latch to lock with the card, and when the card is pulled out the moving member resets and drives the levers to release the latch from the card.

  • Publication number: 20170153690
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a control module and a touch panel. The touch panel receives a first signal and a second signal from the control module. The first signal is at a high level when the touch panel is operating normally. When the electronic device enters sleep mode, the control module turns the first signal to be at a low level and records a first operating status of the second signal. The electronic device stops supplying power for the touch panel when the first signal is at a low level; when the electronic device quits sleep mode, the control module adjusts statuses of the first and second signals according to a first sequence. When the first signal is at the high level and the second signal is in the first operating status, the touch panel continues to operate.
