  • Publication number: 20100103626
    Abstract: A connection port and a circuit board module employing such a connection port are provided. The circuit board module includes a circuit board, a plurality of electronic components, a switch, a control unit connected to the switch, and a connection port. The electronic components, the switch, the control unit and the connection port are disposed on the circuit board. The connection port is adapted for connecting with a connector. The connection port includes a body, a plurality of first connection terminals for connecting with the connector, and a detection terminal. Each of the first connection terminals has one end connected to the control unit via the switch. The detection terminal has one end connected with the switch of the circuit board module. When another end of the detection terminal gets in contact with the connector, the switch electrically conducts the first connection terminals with the control unit.

  • Patent number: 7300315
    Abstract: A structure of an interface card connector includes a connector body and a plurality of terminals provided on the connector body. The bottom surface of the connector body is divided into a terminal zone and a space zone along the transverse direction. The distal ends of the terminals project from the terminal zone toward the bottom surface of the connector body. The space zone is recessed toward the connector body to form a notch portion, so that the bottom surface formed by the space zone is higher than that formed by the terminal zone. The space zone is used to provide a space for arranging the electronic components on the main board, so that more space on the main board is spared for the circuit layout. With this arrangement, the problem of the insufficient space and area of the main board can be solved.
