摘要:
An electrical contact having a termination end for terminating with a wire and a contact end for mating with a mating contact. The contact end has a top wall with two top portions with a seam therebetween. One of the top portions has a locking lance to secure the contact within a housing. An engaging member provides interaction between the two top portions to distribute forces from the top portion having the locking lance to the other top portion.

An electricl connector (1) for mounting on a circuit board includes a housing (2) having a pair of spaced, rudimentary bottom walls (30) each having a bottom surface (31) for engaging against the circuit board. Each bottom wall (30) has formed therein, a through bore (39) opening into the bottom face (31) and also opening upwardly. A hollow board lock supported in each of the bores (39) has locking legs (37) projecting below the bottom face of the respective bottom wall (30) for insertion in a hole (H2) in a circuit board. The housing (2) has therein a header (8) carrying electrical terminals (64,66,68,70) having terminal legs (76) projecting rearwardly from the header (8) and terminating in soldering tails (78) depending below the housing for insertion in further holes (H1) in the circuit board when the bottom faces (31) of the bottom walls (30) are engaged with the circuit board. A metal shield (18) covering the terminal legs (76 ) has, projecting from opposite side walls (80) of the shield (18) grounding tabs (100) which extend through respective board locks (41) and between their locking legs (76). When the connector (1) is mounted on the circuit board the soldering tails (78) are soldered to signal conductors on the board and the legs (76) of the board locks (41) are soldered to grounding conductors on the board. The grounding tabs (100) are accordingly soldered to the grounding conductors at the same time as the locking legs (37).

A smart card connector with a card slot 10 for receiving a smart card employs an end position switch comprising a single resilient contact 14 engaging a stationary post 16 to detect full insertion of a smart card. The resilient contact 14 and the post 16 are mounted in the rear of a housing base 4 which includes resilient data contacts 12 mounted in contact cavities 38 located at the front and rear of the housing base. Contact arms 88 on the data contacts are preloaded so that each contact engages the smart card with a prescribed force and extends into the housing slot for a prescribed distance. The contact arms 88 are located in channels 34 in the housing base and lateral protrusions 36 extending from separator ribs 32 defining the contact channels 34 engage the contacts to preload them. The housing base 4 also includes resilient cantilever diverter springs 18, molded into the housing base which both protect the data contacts 12 and provide a reactive force to counter the force exerted by the normally closed resilient contact 14 upon full insertion of the smart card.

A smart card connector with a card slot (10) for receiving a smart card employs an end position switch comprising a single resilient contact (14) engaging a stationary post (16) to detect full insertion of a smart card. Self cleaning wiping mating contact is generated when the resilient contact (14) engages the stationary rigid post (16). The resilient contact (14) and the post (16) are mounted in the rear of a housing base (4) which includes resilient data contacts (12). The housing base (4) also includes resilient cantilever diverter springs (18), molded into the housing base which both protect the data contacts (12) and provide a reactive force to counter the force exerted by the normally closed resilient contact (14) upon full insertion of the smart card.
摘要:
An electrical connector having a mounting bracket to be inserted into a hold down recess and to secure the connector to a circuit board having a mounting hole. The bracket has a main body portion, a lower body portion, and a boardlock portion. The main body portion has wings extending therefrom and bent towards each other. The wings have tab sections extending straight up from the wings. The lower body portion has arms extending therefrom and bent towards each other. The wings and the arms form a compression fit with the recess when they are inserted therein. The tab sections are bent down to secure the bracket in the recess. The boardlock extends below the connector to be inserted into the mounting hole and secured therein.

A keyed electrical connector (2) includes a diecast housing (4) having a front face (20). A keying structure (26) which is an integral part of the housing (4) upstands from the front face (20). The keying structure forms a cylindrical protrusion (28) extending to a distal end (30). The cylindrical protrusions (28) defines an exterior surface having a radially outwardly extending rib (32). The rib (32) extends along at least a portion of the exterior surface of the protrusion (28).

An unkeyed insert (4) removably retained in a electrical connector (2) has a mating portion (44) projecting from a forward face of the connector beside a mating structure (12) also projecting from the forward face of the connector (2). The mating part (44) defines a socket (60) for receiving a screw lock (234) on a mating connector (200). The mating part (44) has an open side (58) closely adjacent to the mating structure (12). By virtue of its rectangular shape, the mating part (44) can only be angularly oriented with its open side facing the mating structure (12). The unkeyed insert (4) cannot be mated with a keyed structure (218) of the mating connector (200) since an end face (62) of the mating part (44) would butt against the distal end of a rib (222) of the keyed structure (218).

摘要:
A smart card connector 2 for use with a smart card 100 includes both data contacts 12 and normally open end position contacts 12'. The smart card 100 includes both data contact pads 102 and at least one end position contact pad 104 positioned to engage the end position contacts 12'. When the smart card is fully inserted in the connector card slot 10 so that the data contacts 12 are aligned with the data contact pads 102, two normally open end position contacts 12' engage the end position contact pad 104. The two end position contacts 12' are then electrically commoned to provide a signal to a card reader that the smart card 100 is fully inserted and data communication can begin between the smart card 100 and the card reader. Both the data contacts 12 and the normally open end position contacts 12' can comprise substantially identical cantilever beams mounted in the housing base of the smart card connector 2, and the end position contact pad 104 is laterally offset form the data contact pads 102.
