  • Patent number: 7162547
    Abstract: A card connection adaptor is provided which is used for connecting, to a connector of a card slot compliant with a first standard, a card compliant with a second standard. The adaptor includes: a first connector compliant with the first standard and adapted to be electrically connected to the connector of the card slot; a second connector compliant with the second standard; and signal conversion circuitry for performing signal conversion between a first-standard-compliant signal and a second-standard-compliant signal. A card retaining space for retaining the second-standard-compliant card inserted therein is formed in a housing which holds the first connector, the second connector and the signal conversion circuit. The card retaining space has a card insertion port which opens generally perpendicularly to an insertion direction in which the card connection adaptor is inserted into the card slot.

  • Patent number: 6974615
    Abstract: To easily connect a coaxial cable to electric connecting devices or a printed circuit board, to prevent the conductors of the cable from being disturbed, to secure the shielding performance of the signal line, and to enable connection of a very fine wire by means of an automatic machine, a binding member for a coaxial cable is formed into a tubular piece that is arranged to cover the outer conductor or the centered conductor which is exposed from the insulating covering of the cable. This binding member is made of a lead-free ultrahigh-conductive plastic resin composite. An electric connector for a coaxial cable has electric contacts, which each have a receiving port into which the binding member is inserted.

  • Patent number: 6544061
    Abstract: In an electrical connector of the present invention, a cover is mounted on a main body in such a manner as to be rotatable around a shaft and is rotatably connected with a slider at a position thereof shifted from the shaft. A connection object, e. g., memory module, is detachable supported by the slider. When the cover is rotated, the slider is moved reciprocally with respect to contacts arranged in the main body in association with the rotation of the cover, so that the memory module can be connected with the contacts. By virtue of this, the loading or unloading of the memory module can be simplified and also the connector or the memory module can be prevented from being damaged or deformed during the operation.
