    摘要: A universal grounding clip is provided for a card-receiving connector which is mounted on a printed circuit board. The connector includes a generally U-shaped housing having guide arms adapted to guide the outside edges of a PC card into mating engagement with the connector. The PC card includes grounding contacts along the outside edges of the card. The universal grounding clip is mounted on each guide arm and includes a contact portion on an inside surface of the respective guide arm for engaging the corresponding grounding contact at the edge of the PC card during insertion of the card and discharging static electricity from the card prior to complete mating of the card and connector. A grounding pad on the grounding clip is provided along a bottom surface of the respective arm and is adapted to be electrically coupled to a ground circuit on the printed circuit board. A grounding pad is also provided along a top surface of the arm for engaging a bottom ground portion of a top stacked connector. The grounding pads of the grounding clip are cut-away to allow a fastening device to pass through the guide arm and to fit within a recess in the guide arm so as not to extend beyond the upper surface thereof.

    摘要: A memory card which includes a circuit substrate having a generally planar surface, comprises a frame with an opening in one of a top or a bottom wall thereof for receiving the circuit substrate. A support structure on the frame supports the circuit substrate within the card. A cover closes the opening and encloses the circuit substrate and the electrical component within the internal card space created by the frame and cover. The support structure of the frame includes a plurality of shelves at different vertical locations within the frame to support the circuit substrate at different vertical levels to accommodate varying heights of electrical components mounted on one or both surfaces of the substrate. The circuit substrate includes a peripheral edge area with cutouts corresponding to only one of the shelves whereby only the periphery of the substrate need be modified for locating and supporting the circuit substrate at different levels within the card.

    摘要: A method is provided for fabricating a receptacle connector for use in an IC card assembly wherein the receptacle connector is adapted for mounting generally at an edge of a circuit substrate. A housing is provided with an upper surface and a plurality of terminal-receiving passages in a dual row configuration extend parallel to the upper surface. The circuit substrate is adapted to be located a given vertical distance from the upper surface of the housing. A plurality of receptacle terminals are inserted into the passages with surface mount tail portions of the terminals projecting outside the passages. The vertical distance between the circuit substrate and the top of the housing is determined. The tail portions of the two rows of terminals initially project in a generally straight planar array from a rear face of the housing. In a single final forming step, the surface mount tail portions are formed into coplanar curved contact portions such that the contact portions of the surface mount tail portions will engage a corresponding single row contact pad array on the edge of the circuit substrate when the receptacle connector is mounted generally thereon.

    摘要: An improved ejector mechanism is disclosed in conjunction with a header connector into which an IC pack is loaded and from which it is ejected. The IC pack includes a shell having a vertically extending leading face and at least one row of contacts extending a horizontal distance defining a contact array. A unitary ejecting lever is pivotally mounted to the header connector, with one end of the lever being effective to engage and eject the IC pack from the header connector. A unitary push-rod is reciprocally axially movably mounted on an appropriate support at one side of the header connector. One end of the push rod is engageable with the opposite end of the ejecting lever for pivoting the lever in response to movement of the push-rod. The one end of the ejecting lever engages and ejects the IC pack along a leading face thereof in an area defined horizontally by the distance the row of contacts extends and vertically by the height of the leading face of the memory card.
