  • Patent number: 11381011
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative elongated housing with an elongate central slot for receiving a daughter card, a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing by two sides of the central slot, and a mounting section located at one end of the housing with a unitary ejector pivotally mounted therein. The ejector forms a receiving slot for receiving the daughter board, and a pair of engagement arms located by two opposite sides of the receiving slot with corresponding hook at front ends to be engaged within corresponding engagement slots formed in the mounting section. Each deflectable engagement arms includes a metal piece associated therewith not only preventing breaking of the deflectable engagement arm during rotation of the ejector but also enhancing engagement between the ejector and the housing.

  • Patent number: 11196198
    Abstract: A card edge connector includes a longitudinal insulating housing including two long walls and a bottom wall connecting with the long wall and defining a card slot in a longitudinal direction among the long walls and the bottom wall, two rows of contact arranged in the long walls respectively. Each contact includes a retaining portion, a spring portion extending from the retaining portion and leg portion extending from the retaining portion and out of the insulating housing. The spring portions define contacting portions projecting into the card slot. Each contact is formed by directly punching out from a metal plate, the retaining portions define an outer edge and inner edge interfered with the insulating housing and two opposite plane faces connecting with the outer and inner edge and disposed perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

  • Patent number: 10355428
    Abstract: A card edge connector includes a longitudinal insulative housing, a number of terminals retained in the insulative housing, a pair of transparent members mounted to the insulative housing, and a metallic shell surrounding around the insulative housing. The insulative housing has two side walls extending along a longitudinal direction, two end walls connecting between the longitudinal ends of the two side walls and a center slot defined therebetween. The metallic shell includes two covering portions respectively located above the two side walls in a vertical direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Each of the covering portions has a number of through-holes arranged above the transparent members to leak out the light transferred therefrom.
