  • Patent number: 11271336
    Abstract: A connector comprises a base, a plurality of terminals and a detection portion. The detection portion comprises a first contact piece and a second contact piece. The first contact piece has a contact target portion. The second contact piece has a contact main portion and an intersecting portion. The contact main portion is resiliently deformable. The resilient deformation changes a contact state of the contact main portion relative to the contact target portion. The intersecting portion is, at least in part, positioned in a card accommodating portion. The intersecting portion intersects with both an up-down direction and a horizontal plane perpendicular to the up-down direction. When a card pushes the intersecting portion downward in the up-down direction upon accommodation of the card within the card accommodating portion, the intersecting portion resiliently deforms the contact main portion in the horizontal plane so that the contact state is changed.

  • Publication number: 20210034825
    Abstract: A connector comprises a base and a cover. The base is formed with a card-accommodation portion in which a card is accommodatable. The cover is attached to the base via a hinge mechanism to be locatable at a close position. The cover located at the close position covers, at least in part, the card-accommodation portion from above. The cover has two card-holding portions. The base has two regulating portions which correspond to the card-holding portions, respectively. Each of the card-holding portions has an outside portion. When the cover is located at the close position, each of the regulating portions is located inward of the outside portion of the corresponding card-holding portion in the pitch direction (Y-direction) and is located at a position different from that of the outside portion of the corresponding card-holding portions in the front-rear direction (X-direction).
