  • Patent number: 7438599
    Abstract: In a connector housing (2), resinous guide walls (4,5) that slide and guide a card holder (3) are erected on both sides in a width direction (B) perpendicular to a direction (A) in which the card holder (3) holding a memory card (C) is inserted. The metallic guide walls (4,5) are provided with metallic reinforcement tabs (6,7) molded integrally with the guide walls (4,5) simultaneously. The metallic reinforcement tabs (6,7) can give rigidity and elasticity to the resinous guide walls (4,5). Therefore, after the card holder (3) is inserted, the card holder (3) inserted therein can be stably held so as not to easily slip off.

  • Patent number: 7059911
    Abstract: Slide parts (32,33), along which the card holder (3) is slid in, are formed on side faces of the card holder (3) along inside faces of guide walls (4,5) of a SIM socket (1). Each of the slide parts (32,33) has a contact piece (36) extended more outwardly than outer surfaces of the slide parts (32,33). The contact piece (36) of the card holder (3) reaches a state of being pressed against the inside faces of the guide walls (4,5) of the SIM socket (1). Therefore, the card holder (3) inserted therein can be prevented from moving in the width direction (B) (i.e., in the direction perpendicular to the insertion direction). Additionally, since the card holder (3) is inserted while allowing the contact piece (36) to be pressed against the inside faces of the guide walls (4,5) of the SIM socket (1), the card holder (3) can be smoothly inserted.
