Abstract:
A first connector is provided with a first terminal and a first housing that has a first mating guide portion, and a second connector is provided with a second terminal and a second housing that has a second mating guide portion. The first mating guide portion includes a recessed portion into which the second mating guide portion is inserted, and an end wall portion, wherein the inside faces thereof define the lengthwise-direction outsides of the first housing in the recessed portion.
Abstract:
A memory card connector includes an insulating housing defining a front receptacle area communicating with an interior cavity for receiving a memory card. A plurality of terminals are mounted on the housing and have contact portions at a rear of the cavity for engaging contacts on the memory card. A slider is movable mounted on the housing and is engageable with the memory card for movement therewith into and out of the cavity. A guide rail on the housing performs a dual function of (1) engaging the slider to guide the slider in its movement on the housing, and (2) preventing the memory card from being inserted into the cavity in an abnormal orientation.
Abstract:
A board-to board electrical connector assembly (10) is provided for effecting a connection between two circuit boards (52, 54). The assembly includes a first connector (12) having a dielectric housing (16) for mounting on a first circuit board. A plurality of first terminals (24) are mounted on the dielectric housing and each terminal includes a tail portion (24a) for connection to an appropriate circuit trace on the first circuit board and a convex contact portion (24c) defining a continuous arcuate contact surface (28). A second connector (14) has a dielectric housing (30) for mounting on a second circuit board. A plurality of second terminals (40) are mounted on the dielectric housing of the second connector and each second terminal includes a tail portion (44a) for connection to an appropriate circuit trace on the second circuit board, and a contact projection (50) for sliding over the continuous arcuate contact surface (28) of the convex contact portion (24c) of the first terminals (24) upon mating of the connectors.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an unlocking-proof PGA package socket which is so designed that upon the slide plate being put in its locking position for fastening a PGA package to the socket the longest vector of the circular cam member runs beyond the point of contact at which the cam member is put in contact with the slide plate, thereby allowing the kickback to push the cam member in the direction opposite to the direction in which the cam member turns toward unlocking position.
Abstract:
A board-to-board electrical connector assembly is provided for effecting a connection between two circuit boards. The assembly includes a first connector having a low profile dielectric housing including a mating face and a mounting face for mounting the connector on a first circuit board. A plurality of spaced mating posts project from the mating face of the housing. A second connector has a low profile dielectric housing including a mating face for mating with the mating face of the first connector and a mounting face for mounting on a second circuit board. The dielectric housing of the second connector includes a plurality of mating passages in the mating face thereof for receiving the mating posts of the first connector. The passages extend from the mating face all the way to and through the mounting face of the dielectric housing of the second connector.

Abstract:
A cable connector comprising having a housing with an opening for receiving an end of a flat cable therein. The housing also has a plurality of terminal recesses, and a plurality of conductive terminals disposed in the recesses for connecting to conductive leads of the flat cable. The terminals are provided with solder connecting portions for adhering to conductive pads by soldering, and contact portions for contacting the flat cable conductive leads. The terminals recesses are at least partly defined by terminal holding walls confronting external surfaces of the terminals received therein, by broad width portions, and a cut-away portions formed between parts in the terminals holding walls, the parts facing the terminal solder connecting portions and contact portions, respectively.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an electrical connector having at least two terminals that are short-circuited to each other by the use of a continuous portion. The continuous portion is formed during the manufacturing process of the terminals, thereby simplifying short-circuiting of two or more terminals together.
Abstract:
A socket for a PGA package can maintain high reliability of connecting condition for a long period. The socket is constructed by mounting a reinforcement plate formed with a metal plate or the like at the position where the cam member contacts the slide plate so that the slide plate, which is formed of an insulative materials such as plastic or the like, will not be deformed upon exertion of a reaction force from a plurality of lead pins of a PGA package.
Abstract:
A board-to board electrical connector assembly is provided for effecting a connection between two circuit boards. The assembly includes a first connector having a dielectric housing mounted on a first circuit board. The housing has a mating face with a mating recess. A plurality of first terminals are mounted on the housing and each terminal includes a tail portion for connection to an appropriate circuit trace on the first circuit board and a contact portion exposed generally at the mating recess. A second connector has a dielectric housing mounted on a second circuit board. The housing has a mating projection for insertion into the mating recess of the first connector. A plurality of second terminals are mounted on the housing of the second connector. Each second terminal includes a tail portion for connection to an appropriate circuit trace on the second circuit board and a contact portion for engaging the contact portion of one of the first terminals of the first connector.The dielectric housings of the first and second connectors are structurally configured such that the second circuit board mounted on the housing of the second connector closes the mating recess of the housing of the first connector when the connectors are mated.
