An improved connector terminal has a profile which facilitates insertion into engagement holes on a circuit board and increases resistance to deformation. The terminals may be part of an assembly which includes a series of terminals arranged in a spaced-apart array. Each has a solder tail portion defined by a straight edge (11) proximate to the centerline (9) and a slanted edge (12) which diagonally extends from the other side and which traverses the centerline (9) to intersect with the straight edge (11) to thereby form an acute angle at the tip (E) of the terminal near the centerline (9) to provide comparable positioning allowances on the opposite sides of the centerline (9) to facilitate mounting of the terminals on a circuit board. The acute angle point is advantageous to the optical measurement of terminal intervals for the quality control.

An eject mechanism for a card-receiving connector equipped with a foldable eject button which provides sufficient mechanical ejection stroke without excess projection of the ejection button from a front face of an electronic apparatus. The card ejection mechanism includes an eject rod, an eject button connected to the ejection rod, and an actuation lever for ejecting a memory card from the card-receiving connector. The eject button includes a base button and an operation button. The operation button is pivotally connected to the base button and is mounted for movement between a raised position where the operation button is axially aligned with base button, and a folded position where the operation button is oriented generally perpendicular to the base button. The operation button includes a base portion for engaging a corresponding recess in the base button for holding the operation button in its raised position.

A card connector assembly for receiving a card member is provided with an eject device wherein the eject device is assembled directly onto the support frame of the card connector assembly to thereby reduce the number of components, the number of assembly steps and the resultant manufacturing costs of the connector assembly. The card connector assembly comprises a card guide portion (5a), a connector portion (9) to be connected to the card member, a support frame (3) continuous with both the card guide portion and the connector portion and an eject device (2). The eject device (2) comprises a slide member (22) slidably movable along the support frame (3), a movable lever (35) operating in accordance with movement of the slide member (22) for moving the card in a direction away from the card connector (7), and a cam mechanism (10) for defining the sliding range of the slide member (22). A part of the cam mechanism (10) is provided directly in the support frame (3).

A relay connector (10) for joining together two lengths of flat printed circuitry or flat flexible cable is formed from two connector housings (31) of identical shape. The two housings are joined together by a set of conductive terminals (41) and housing engagement members. The terminals are bilaterally symmetrical and have contact and engagement portions at their ends which are received in terminal-receiving grooves in the rear of the two housings. A pair of actuators (11) are rotatably mounted to the housings and they move in opposite directions to open and close.

An adapter, along with a method of fabricating the adapter, for a memory card connector to enable a miniature memory card to be inserted into a larger, standard memory card connector. A two-part housing is provided of a size and shape to simulate a standard memory card. The housing includes a base housing part defining a substantial portion of an inner cavity for receiving a miniature memory card. An inner housing part is separate from and independent of the base housing part. A plurality of terminals are mounted on the inner housing part to define a subassembly which is mounted on the base housing part. Each terminal includes a first contact portion at one end thereof for engaging an appropriate contact on the standard memory card connector. Each terminal includes a second contact portion at an opposite end thereof for engaging an appropriate contact of the miniature memory card.

A flat flexible cable connector (10) has a housing (31) with an insertion opening (33) in its front face. Two lengths of flexible cable (51a, 51b) are placed end to end and are inserted into the opening. The connector has terminals (41) with top and bottom opposing contact portions (43a, 44a) which are aligned with the exposed conductive leads on the two lengths of flexible cables. A moveable actuator (11) applies pressure to the terminal contact portions to effect a reliable connection between the flexible cables.

A cable connector includes a housing with an insertion recess for receiving an end of a flat cable and a plurality of terminals disposed in the housing for connecting to conductive leads of the flat cable. An actuator is attached to the housing so that the attitude of the actuator can be changed between a first position at which the flat cable can be inserted into the opening and a second position at which the actuator presses the conductive leads of the inserted flat cable into contact with the terminals. The actuator is attached to the housing at a cable insertion end side thereof and brought to the second position when the attitude of the actuator is changed in an insertion direction of the flat plate-like cable. A fulcrum of the attitude-changing movement of the actuator in the insertion direction is positioned further from the second position, as viewed from an effort point of a force applied by the flat cable to the actuator at the second position, than a point of action of the force being applied.

Disclosed is an improved card connector comprising a shell assembly and a pin connector assembly. The pin connector assembly includes an insulating housing mounting upper and lower rows of signal terminals and an upper and lower grounding terminal. The signal terminals include connection pins arranged in upper and lower rows and solder tails for connecting to an underlying printed circuit board. The upper grounding terminal includes a downwardly extending rear wall having window apertures formed therein. The upper rows of signal pins pass through the window apertures without contacting the grounding terminal and terminate at the solder tails. The upper and lower grounding terminals are electrically coupled, and a single row of DIP-type solder tails extending from the lower grounding terminals can be soldered to selected conductors on a printed circuit board to couple both of the grounding terminals to a ground circuit of the printed circuit board.

Disclosed is an improved method of forming a two-storied type of PC card connector assembly. It comprises the steps of: attaching one card connector to one side of a printed circuit board; soldering the soldering tails of the signal terminals to the signal circuit pattern formed on the one side of the printed circuit board, and the soldering tails of the ground terminals to the through-holes made in the printed circuit board; attaching the other card connector to the other side of the printed circuit board (no ground terminal piece attached thereto); soldering the soldering tails of the signal terminals to the circuit pattern formed on the other side of the printed circuit board; press-fitting a separate ground terminal piece in the other card connector; and soldering the soldering tails of the ground terminal piece to the ground circuit pattern formed on the other side of the printed circuit board.

A cable connector is provided including an insulative housing having an insertion opening through which a flat flexible cable may be inserted. An actuator is movably mounted on the housing and configured to be moved from a first position at which the flat flexible cable may be inserted and a second position at which the contact pads of the flat flexible cable are operatively engaged by terminals of the connector. A plurality of conductive terminals are mounted in the housing. Each terminal is configured to be electrically connected to a contact pad of the flat flexible cable. A first group of the terminals has an actuator holding arm portion that engages the actuator to facilitate movement of the actuator between the first and second positions. Each of a second group of the terminals has a plurality of distinct, resilient, cantilevered, contact arm portions configured to be electrically connected to one of the contact pads of the flat flexible cable.
