Two opposite side edges of a top end of the bracket plate oppositely protrude to form a pair of blocking ears. A free end of the flexible arm is arched upward to form an inverted-V shaped contacting portion adjacent to the bracket plate. Two ends of a distal edge of the contacting portion further extend beyond the two opposite side edges of the bracket plate to form a pair of resisting tails respectively restrained under the blocking ears.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2010Publication date: June 28, 2012Applicant: Cheng Uei Precision Industry Co., LTD.Inventors: HONG-TU ZHANG, PING-CHIH CHEN, MING-CHIANG CHEN

Publication number: 20120156904Abstract: A connector has an insulating housing of which two opposite ends extended frontward to form a pair of supporting arms, terminals mounted in the insulating housing having soldering portions projected out of a bottom of the insulating housing, and a positioning member. The positioning member has a base slice. A rear of a side edge the base slice is extended downward to form a holding slice movably received in a through slot recessed at the supporting arm. A front of the side edge of the base slice is extended downward and then bent perpendicularly to form a soldering slice. As the height between the base slice and the soldering slice is bigger than that of the supporting arm, the positioning member is capable of moving up-and-down to adjust the relative position between the soldering slice and the soldering portions of the terminals.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2010Publication date: June 21, 2012Applicant: CHENG UEI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: Hung-Chi Wang, Mei-Chuan Yang

Publication number: 20120156905Abstract: A connector soldered to a PCB has an insulating housing of which two opposite ends recessed to form a pair of fixing recesses, terminals mounted in the insulating housing having soldering portions projected out of a bottom of the insulating housing, a latch member and a positioning member. The latch member has a base slice inserted in the fixing recess. A top of the base plate extends sideward and then is bent downward to form a folded plate apart facing the base plate to define an interval therebetween. The positioning member movably mounted to the latch member has a base slice inserted in the interval and a soldering slice perpendicularly connected at a bottom of the base slice for being soldered with the PCB. The base slice of is capable of moving up-and-down in the interval to adjust the soldering slice to be level with the soldering portions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2010Publication date: June 21, 2012Applicant: CHENG UEI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: Hung-Chi Wang, Mei-Chuan Yang
