Abstract: An electrical connector provides shielded signal pathways. The electrical connector includes a shield plate, a first finger that extends from an edge of the shield plate, and a second finger that extends from the edged of the shield and that is adjacent to the first finger. A channel is formed between the first finger and the second finger. A coupling is placed within the channel adjacent the first finger. The coupling includes a contact, a first connecting arm extending from a first end of the contact to a first portion of the first finger, and a second connecting arm extending from a second end of the contact to a second portion of the first finger. The first connecting arm and the second connecting arm provide at least two current paths from the contact to the first finger.

Abstract: An electrical card connector 100 includes a dielectric housing or base 1, a number of contacts 2 received in the housing or base 1, and a metal shell 3 covering the housing or base 1, both sides of the housing or base 1 having passageways or positioning slot 10, both side of the metal shell 3 having beams 321 embedded into the passageways or positioning slot 10. The beams 321 mating the passageways or positioning slot 10 in an elongated direction increase the function area between beams 321 and passageways or positioning slot 10, which makes the electrical card connector 100 stable.

Abstract: An electrical card connector assembly (100) includes an electrical card connector and a printed circuit board (PCB) (4). The electrical card connector includes an insulating housing (2), a plurality of terminals (31) received in the insulating housing and a metal shield (1) covering the insulating housing to define a card receiving room. The insulating housing forms an upper face (20), a lower face (21) and two lateral walls (22) and defines at least one cavity (24). The lateral walls form a plurality of blocks (221). The metal shield includes a base (11), a pair of sidewalls (12) and at least one elastic piece (110) extending along a card insertion direction. The sidewalls define openings (121) receiving the blocks of the sidewalls and form at least one retention portion (120). The base forms a baffle (13) at a rear edge thereof. The PCB is attached with the lower face of the insulating housing and electrically connected with the terminals.

Abstract: A card connector, comprising: an insulative housing having a base, first and second sidewalls extending upwardly from two opposite sides of the base, a card receiving space defined by the base and the first and second sidewalls; a plurality of contacts held within the housing, the contacts having contact sections extending beyond the base; a pair of detecting switches including a stable switch and a movable switch both around a region located backwardly of the first sidewall; and a flange-like plane portion on said first sidewall and essentially vertical to said first sidewall, a front guiding entrance defined by said flange-like plane portion, the first sidewall, the second sidewall and the base.

Abstract: An electrical card connector for insertion of a card includes an insulative housing, a plurality of contacts and a push-push mechanism. The insulative housing defines a card receiving space and a side wall which includes a resistance wall and a notch located forward the resistance wall. The push-push mechanism includes a locking arm including a hook deformable in the notch and an engaging portion extending from the hook. When the card is fully inserted into the card receiving space to reach a final locking position, the hook locks with the depression of the card. When pulling out the card under such final locking position, the engaging portion abuts against the resistance wall for preventing the card from withdrawing from the card receiving space.

Abstract: A card connector comprises a plurality of contacts, a frame, a shell and a locator. Each of the plurality of contacts comprises a first portion extending in a first direction and a second portion extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Each contact has substantially an L-like shape. The frame has a front end portion and a rear end portion. The rear end portion holds, in part, the first portions of the contacts. The first portions extend into a space defined by the frame toward the front end portion in the first direction. The second portions extend away from the frame in the second direction. The shell is attached to the frame. The shell shields, in part, the second portions of the contacts. The locator is supported by the shell. The locator is distinct from the shell. The locator holds, in part, the second portions of the contacts so that the second portions penetrate the locator.

Abstract: The electronic card of the present invention enables prevention of failure of an electronic circuit incorporated in the electronic card by establishing an electrostatic shielding unit. A connector has a plurality of contacts and a housing. A container case has a side facing a face of one side of the substrate on which an electronic circuit is imprinted, and a first shell and a second shell of electrically conductive material positioned on a side facing the face of the other side of the substrate, respectively. An opening is established on a front end section relating to insertion and removal of the connector in a housing, and is held in a state in which contacts are exposed internally. An electrostatic shielding unit is of electrically conductive material that is electrically connected to the container case, and is positioned in an exposed state on a surface of the above-mentioned front end section.

Abstract: An electrical coupler includes a connector receptacle having multiple modules. The modules each include a pair of signal conductors and a ground plane or shield, held together by a dielectric module body. The shields are between the pairs of conductors in adjacent modules, and provide electrical shielding between the pairs of signal contacts of different modules. The signal conductors and the shields may be coupled to a board, such as a circuit board. The receptacle may be an angled receptacle, such as a right angle receptacle. The signal conductors of each pair in the receptacle may have a predetermined amount of skew, having different effective electrical lengths. This may allow signal paths through the receptacle and the board to have a combined electrical path that is substantially the same for the signal conductor pair of one of the modules.

Abstract: A SIM card connector of a portable wireless terminal has a structure that forms a space thereunder using its lower edges to place electronic parts of a printed circuit board (PCB) within the space, so that the PCB can increase its space efficiency. The SIM card connector further forms an electromagnetic wave shield around the space, so that the electromagnetic wave shield can block electromagnetic waves generated from the electronic parts.
