  • Stacked electrical card connector assembly with multi-function grounding members
    Patent number: 6805582
    Abstract: A stacked electrical card connector assembly (1) includes a first electrical card connector (2), a second electrical card connector (3), a pair of boardlocks (4), and a pair of grounding members (5). The grounding members attach the two electrical card connectors together, and provide grounding for electrical cards respectively received in the electrical card connectors. Each grounding member includes a base plate (51) with a pair of spaced spring arms (510) extending generally coplanarly from one main edge thereof. Free ends of the spring arms resiliently press against sides of corresponding electrical cards received in the electrical card connectors. Thus any unnecessary or undesired electrical current can be removed before the electrical cards are electrically engaged with the electrical card connectors. The boardlocks are used for fixing the stacked electrical card connector assembly on a printed circuit board.

  • Stacked electrical card connector assembly
    Patent number: 6648680
    Abstract: A stacked electrical card connector assembly (1) includes a first electrical card connector (2), a second electrical card connector (3), a pair of boardlocks (4), and a pair of grounding members (5). The boardlocks engagingly stack the two electrical card connectors together, and protrude below the second electrical card connector for fixing to a PCB. The boardlocks thus securely fix the two electrical card connectors to the PCB.
