For Receiving Ic Card Patents (Class 439/607.33)
  • Patent number: 9881650
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a connector structure that prevents crosstalk in devices such as electronic and data storage devices. The connector structure is disposed in a different plane than the signal lines, but is connected to ground lines that are disposed in the same plane as the signal lines. The connector structure has a beam portion for each ground line. Additionally, there is a backbone portion that connects all of the beam portions. The beam portions are coupled to the ground lines by a ground bar. The ground bar can have a width that is equal to the width of the ground line. Additionally, the connection point between the ground line and the ground bar can be sloped, and the ground line and ground bar can be parallel to each other at the connection point. The connector structure prevents crosstalk between the signal lines.

  • Patent number: 8535099
    Abstract: A card connector adapted for receiving an electrical card therein includes an insulating housing, a plurality of terminals disposed to the insulating housing, a lower shielding shell and an upper shielding shell. The insulating housing has two flanks of which each defines a receiving groove penetrating through a bottom thereof, and a perforation penetrating through a top thereof and communicating with the receiving groove. The lower shielding shell covered under the insulating housing has two lateral plates. A top of each lateral plate is bent sideward to form a second buckling piece located in the receiving groove. The upper shielding shell covered on the insulating housing has a top plate of which each side edge protrudes downward to form an L-shaped first buckling piece passing through the corresponding perforation to buckle the second buckling piece of the lower shielding shell.

  • Patent number: 8465326
    Abstract: A card connector includes a first insulating housing, a second insulating housing mounted above the first insulating housing, a plurality of electrical terminals assembled in the first insulating housing and the second insulating housing, and a shielding shell enclosing the first and the second insulating housings. The first insulating housing defines a first receiving room and a second receiving room abreast arranged with each other, and the second insulating housing defines a third receiving room located over the first and the second receiving rooms. So the card connector forms a structure combining a juxtaposition arrangement and a stratiform arrangement for the receiving rooms to reduce the space occupied by the card connector on an external circuit board. Such structure contributes to the miniaturization of digital products.

  • Patent number: 8113883
    Abstract: An electrical card connector (100) includes an insulative housing (2, 4, 6) defining a number of passageways, a number of contacts (12) retained in the passageways and the insulative housing and a metal shield (3, 5, 7) covering the insulative housing. The insulative housing has a base portion (20, 40) and a pair of retaining portions (22, 42, 62) extending forwardly from the base portion. Each retaining portion defines a cavity (24, 44, 45, 63). The metal shield includes a main portion (30) and a number of lateral walls (31) for defining a card receiving room. The metal shield integrally forms a locking portion (34, 54, 55, 75) having a stamped portion (341, 543, 553, 751) therefrom. The stamped portion is received in the cavity to pre-loadingly engage with the retaining portion.
