  • Publication number: 20080007933
    Abstract: A socket connector includes a bottom shielding (10) with a receiving room (15), an electronic module (2) received in the receiving room of the bottom shielding, an elastic padding (20) defined between the electronic module and the bottom shielding, and a top shielding (30) for engaging with the bottom shielding and pressing the electronic module tightly in the bottom shielding. Wherein, the electronic module has an un-coplanar lower surface, and the thickness of different parts of the padding varies for supporting different parts of the un-coplanar bottom surface of the electronic modular. Therefore, the electronic module can be fitly mounted in the receiving room of the bottom surface when the top shielding engaging with the bottom shielding and pressing onto the electronic module.

  • Publication number: 20080008468
    Abstract: A camera module (100) includes a camera unit (3) and a shielding housing for wrapping a main body (30) of the camera unit. The camera unit further includes the main body and a front end section (31), the front end section adapted for electrically connecting with a flexible substrate (5). The shielding housing includes a front end opening (140) for allowing the front end section of the camera unit to be exposed, and an outer extension section (110) located below the front end opening for supporting at least a part of the flexible substrate. With such an arrangement, the induced electromagnetic wave of the camera unit can be diminished through the use of the shielding housing, thereby stabilizing the transmission of electronic signal of the camera unit.
