Patent number: 6979206Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2004Date of Patent: December 27, 2005Assignee: Hon Hai Precision Ind. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Xue Wu Bu, DeXi Chen

Patent number: 6764313Abstract: A method of forming an electrical interconnection between a first electrical device and a second electrical device comprises the steps of providing contacts in an uncompressed state. The uncompressed contacts are then deformed to a compressed state and then the contacts are positioned in a device adapted to hold the contacts between the first and second electrical devices. Or alternatively, the uncompressed contacts are positioned in the device and then compressed to the compressed state. The contacts are then activated to substantially expand to the uncompressed state wherein each contact expands to substantially its uncompressed state for establishing the electrical interconnection between the first and second electrical devices.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2002Date of Patent: July 20, 2004Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Gareth Hougham
