Abstract: A card edge connector (100) for receiving a memory card (200) includes an insulative housing (1) and a number of terminals (2) retained therein. The insulative housing (1) includes an elongated base (10) extending along a longitudinal direction thereof and a pair of tower section (18) extending upwardly from opposite ends of the base (10). The base (10) defines a receiving slot (10) for receiving the memory card (200) and two rows of contact receiving channels (111) communicated with the slot (10). Each tower section (18) includes a pair of opposed arms (13) and a cavity (15) located therebetween. The arm (13) has a cantilever type resilient finger (132) formed from an inner wall of the arm (13) and extending downwardly for sandwiching the memory card (200), and a locking projection (131) at an upper portion thereof to engage with a notch (203) of the memory card (200).

Abstract: A card edge connector (100) for receiving a module (3) includes an elongated insulative housing (1) having a central slot (10) for receiving a bottom edge of the module and an arm portion (16) coupled to an end of the insulative housing. The arm portion includes a pair of side walls (160) with a retaining slot (168) formed therebetween for receiving a side edge of the module and a latch (17) located between the side walls and integrally extending upwardly from the insulative housing. The latch has a resilient arm (171) defining a retaining embossment (173) for latching the module and a gripping portion (172) for rotating the resilient arm. A number of terminals (2) are mounted on the insulative housing and extend into the central slot for electrical connection to the module.

Abstract: A card edge connector (100) for receiving a module comprises an insulative housing (2) having a pair of side walls (28) with a module-receiving slot (21) formed therebetween and a plurality of contact-receiving cavities (29) along the slot, and a pair of end walls (26) connected to the side walls; a plurality of contacts (3) retained in the corresponding cavities and having contacting portions (31) extending into the slot for engaging with the module; an ejector (5) pivotally mounted on the housing and having a gripping portion (530) which can be deformed toward the side wall along an insertion direction of the module, and a locking portion (529) for locking with the module; and a block (6) movably mounted on the housing and connected to the ejector to eject the module out of the slot in response to an outward rotation of the ejector.

Abstract: A card edge connector (100) includes an insulative housing (1) having a pair of side walls (16) with a central slot (12) formed therebetween and a number of upper cavities (13) and lower cavities (14), the central slot defining a central line (125) along a middle portion thereof, the upper cavities and the lower cavities being located on opposite sides of the central line; a number of contacts each including a contacting portion (211, 221, 231, 241) extending into the central slot, a soldering portion (213, 223, 233, 243) extending out of the housing and a fixing portion (212, 222, 232, 242) interconnecting the contacting portion and the soldering portion, said contacts having upper contacts and lower contacts received in the upper cavities and the lower cavities respectively, the lower contacts comprising a first row contacts (21) and a second row contacts (22), the fixing portions (212) of the first row contacts and the fixing portions (222) of the second row contacts being located on opposite sides of the

Abstract: A card edge connector includes an elongated insulative housing, a number of electrical contacts received therein and an ejector rotablely mounted thereon. The insulative housing defines a central slot for receiving a card therein. At least one tower is formed at one end of the insulative housing and includes a pair of sidewalls. The ejector includes a main body with a kicker at a bottom end and a handle at a top end thereof. Each sidewall of the tower includes a first bar and a second bar engaging with a first protrusion disposed on the ejector thereby generating a two-segment interference between the ejector and the insulative housing.

Abstract: A card edge connector (1) includes an insulating housing (2), two rows of contacts (3) and a cover (4). The insulating housing (1) includes a front mating surface (27) and a rear face (25). A retaining section (21) extends rearwards from the rear surface and defines a dove-tailed, retaining cavity (22) on a top surface (220) thereof. A retaining, through hole (23) is defined in the insulating housing and communicating with the retaining cavity (220). The cover includes a locating block (41) retained in the dove-tailed, retaining cavity and a locking portion (42) entering the retaining, through hole. Thus, the cover is mounted to the insulating housing (2) firmly to protect soldering tails (33) and medial portions (32) of the contacts outside the insulating housing.

Abstract: The card edge connector (1) comprises an insulative housing (2) with a number of terminals (3) retained therein, and a pair of ejector mechanisms (4) pivotally attached to opposite ends of the housing. Each ejector mechanism includes a body portion (40), an abutment (42) and a handle (45). The body portion defines a channel (46) between the abutment and the handle. The channel comprises an upper channel (460) and a lower channel (462). The lower channel has a smaller width than that of the upper channel.

Abstract: A carrier strip arrangement includes a pair of first and second carrier sub-arrangements connecting with each other by a plurality of connecting webs. Each of the first and second carrier sub-arrangements contains a carrier strip and a plurality of contacts connected with the carrier strip. Each contact of the first carrier sub-arrangement is a mirror image of and is connected with a corresponding contact of the second carrier sub-arrangement by a pair of connecting webs. Thus, the carrier strip arrangement achieves good stabilization by employing the connecting webs transversely connecting with the corresponding contacts of the first and second rows thereby effectively preventing the contacts from deformation and warpage during package and transportation.
