  • Patent number: 9252772
    Abstract: A multi direction switch (100) includes a first cover (31) having a first static detecting mechanism (3132), a second cover (32) having a second static detecting mechanism (3232), a first moving body (51) having a first movable detecting mechanism (513), a second moving body (52) having a second movable detecting mechanism (523), and an actuating mechanism. The second movable detecting mechanism is movable relative to the second static detecting mechanism in response to a movement of the second moving body along a first direction. The first movable detecting mechanism is movable relative to the first static detecting mechanism in response to a movement of said first moving body along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

  • Publication number: 20120125751
    Abstract: A multi direction switch (100) includes an upper housing (3), a lower housing (6), a bottom cover (11), an elastic ring (5), an actuator (4), an operating button (1), a terminal plate (7), a moveable electrode plate (8), an insulative layer (10), and a fixed electrode plate (9). The upper housing and the lower housing define a channel (361) and a first receiving space (362) for receiving the elastic ring. The bottom cover is attached to the lower housing for defining a second receiving space (611) therebetween. The actuator has a bracket (41) connecting with the elastic ring via the channel and an actuating portion (42) extending from the bracket towards the bottom cover. The terminal plate, the moveable electrode plate, the insulative layer, and the fixed electrode plate are positioned along an upper-and-lower direction and received in the second receiving space.

  • Patent number: 8079876
    Abstract: An electrical card connector includes an insulating housing (1) with a number of passageways (115), a number of conductive contacts (3) retained in the passageways. Each contact includes a planar retaining portion (31), a solder portion (35) and a resilient arm (37). The solder portion extends from one end of the retaining portion and the resilient arm bends inversely from the opposite end of the retaining portion. The contact further includes a pair of tabs (39) bent inversely from two side ends of the resilient arm and extends between the retaining portion and the resilient arm. The pair of tabs define therebetween a slot space (391) correspondingly to receive the solder portion.

  • Patent number: 7955135
    Abstract: A card connector, comprising an insulative housing having a base, a plurality of passageways extending along a widthwise direction of the base, a plurality of retention slots defined on two lengthwise sides of each passageway, and a plurality of contacts received in the respective passageways. Each contact has a planar soldering section on a side of the planar section; a beam section extending from the side of the planar section opposite to the soldering section; the beam section defining an arc contact section on a free end; the planar section having a number of retention pieces received in the retention slots. The retention pieces are defined perpendicular to an extending direction of the soldering section.

  • Patent number: 7871298
    Abstract: A stacked card connector (100) has a terminal module with a set of first terminals (2). The first terminals (2) have cantilever beams (22) and the cantilever beams (22) substantially spread in a plane, the first terminals vertically extend a leg (21) from the plane to a bottom face of stacked card connector; the first set of terminals (2) have a front row of terminals and a rear row of terminals, the first terminals (2) have contact portions (231) and transverse beams (222) connecting the contact portions (231) and the cantilever beams (22), the cantilever beams (22) of the front row of terminals branching vertically to the cantilever beam form a cross bar (221), the transverse beams (222) of the rear row of terminals extend lengthwise poles intersecting the cross bar (221) at nodes (223). The nodes (223) keep the first terminals (2) in a plane before injecting molding, and are cut off through the cutouts (113) to form a hole (224), the nodes (223) can make the first terminals have good flatness.
