Abstract:
An electrical connector includes a base, an upper cover, terminals and a lever. The base is formed with terminal slots and a supporting seat formed with pivoting portions. The upper cover has a main body formed with through holes for accommodating the terminals, and a rear plate connected to a rear end of the main body. The lever has a rocking portion and a pivoting shaft, which includes first shafts pivotally connected to the pivoting portions, and a second shaft engaged with the rear plate. A side edge of the rear plate is nearer to a middle of the upper cover than a side edge of the main body. The rocking portion is disposed between the side edges so that the rocking portion may be rotated with respect to the side edge of the rear plate without exceeding the side edge of the main body.
Abstract:
An electrical connector includes a plastic base, a metal housing, a plate-engaging element and a grounding element. A connection portion and terminals each having a pin portion extending out of the plastic base are disposed on the plastic base. The metal housing covers the plastic base while exposing the connection portion of the plastic base and the pin portions of the terminals. The plate-engaging element is formed with one elastic hook extending below the plastic base to engage with a connection hole of a circuit board. The grounding element contacting the metal housing is formed with a positioning piece extending below the plastic base and being positioned by a grounding hole of the circuit board. The plate-engaging element and the metal housing pertain to different parts. The plate-engaging element is formed with a fixing portion engaging with the plastic base.

The multi-card connector includes a common seat formed with a plurality of slots into which different electrical cards may be inserted, and a plurality of terminals disposed on the common seat. Each terminal has a pin extending out of a bottom surface of the common seat. Each trace has a first terminal and a second terminal, which are disposed on a plane of the circuit board. The first terminals of the traces are arranged in correspondence with the pins of the terminals of the multi-card connector such that the pins of the terminals are respectively soldered to the first terminals of the traces. The connection interface is electrically connected to the second terminals of the traces and may be flexibly connected to an external interface.
Abstract:
A metallic sliding slot structure for an electrical connector, which includes a base in which the slot structure formed by folding and pressing a metallic plate is positioned. The slot structure includes a bottom plate, an inner track plate disposed above the bottom plate, an outer track plate having an opening for enclosing the inner track plate, and at least one one-way block formed by pressing the bottom plate. The inner track plate has one end formed with a tip and the other end formed into an M-like shape to form a concave first positioning point. A one-way circulation path is formed between the inner and outer track plates. A second positioning point corresponding to the tip is defined in the opening of the outer track plate. The path goes from the second positioning point to the first positioning point and then back to the second positioning point.
Abstract:
An electrical connector includes an insulation base, and first and second terminals arranged in the base. The base has a connection slot, into which a circuit board may be inserted. The slot has an upper edge formed with a slant first surface and a horizontal second surface, and a lower edge formed with a horizontal third surface and a fourth surface, wherein an inner side of the slot is formed with a fifth surface. Each first terminal has an elastic contact having a connection point projecting over the second surface in the slot. Each second terminal has an elastic contact having a connection point projecting over the third surface in the slot. The card-ejecting slant surface is formed between the second and fifth surfaces. The inserted circuit board is moved backward by a distance along the card-ejecting slant surface when the circuit board is rotated to be horizontal.
Abstract:
An electrical connector having two vertically movable bases to enhance overall levelness of pins. The electrical connector includes a bottom base, a positioning structure, and a top base covering over the bottom base. The bottom base includes a mother base and a daughter base, wherein the mother base is formed with an opening, the daughter base is contained in the opening, one row of terminals is arranged on the daughter base, and each of the terminals has an elastic contact and a pin. The positioning structure is formed on the mother base and the daughter base to make the daughter base vertically movable and to horizontally restrict the daughter base in the opening of the mother base.
Abstract:
An engagement structure for engaging with a circuit board formed with first and second notches includes an elastic engagement arm and an elastic ejection arm. The engagement arm can be elastically and laterally moved and has a resting portion protruding laterally and an engagement portion for engaging with the first notch. The ejection arm can be elastically and laterally moved and has a touching portion and an inverse hook. The inverse hook is formed with a guiding bevel and a hooking surface. When the ejection arm is pushed laterally, the engagement portion gradually escapes from the second notch, the guiding bevel gradually presses the circuit board through the first notch, and the ejection arm deforms elastically. When the inverse hook completely passes through the first notch and makes the engagement portion escape from the second notch, the ejection arm rebounds such that the hooking surface hooks the circuit board.
Abstract:
A terminal structure of an electrical connector has continuous terminals and a connection material tape with projections reapectively connected to the continuous terminals, which are formed by pressing a metal plate. Each terminal includes an extension having a first end and a second end, a connection having a first end connected to the first end of the extension and a second end formed with a to-be-broken portion connected to the projection, and a contact connected to the second end of the extension. The to-be-broken portion is broken to separate the terminal from the material tape. The contact has two elastic arms with a gap therebetween, and the two elastic arms have contact surfaces close to each other. The extension is horizontal and has a twisted portion to make the contact vertical so that the two contact surfaces of the contact may contact an inserted male terminal in vertical directions.
Abstract:
A shifting device for shifting two rows of continuous terminals includes a body and a shaft. The body is formed with a hole and an inlet and an outlet both communicating with the hole. A direction into the inlet and a direction out of the outlet are the same. The inlet is shifted a predetermined distance away from the outlet. The shaft is fitted with the hole of the body and defines a spiral channel with the body after fitting with the hole of the body. The spiral channel corresponds to the inlet and the outlet of the body According to the structure, one row of the continuous terminals enters the body from the inlet and travels along the spiral channel and travels out of the body from the outlet with a predetermined distance shifted away from the other row of the continuous terminals.
Abstract:
An electric connector includes a base formed with a plurality of slots; and a plurality of terminals inserted into the plurality of slots of the base respectively. Each of the terminals is formed with an elastic pin protruding out of the slot. When the base is forced to contact the circuit board, the pins of the terminals retract and evenly contact the circuit board.
