摘要

A female connector has a plurality of contacts to be connected to a card member having a card edge portion with a plurality of card edge terminals formed on a substrate, and a housing disposed with contact housing portions, and the housing has a flat opening portion on one side into which the card edge portion is inserted, an insertion port on the other side, and an inner space therein communicating with the flat opening portion and disposed with the card edge portion, and the contact housing portion has at least two stages of first contact housing portions formed on one side relative to the inner space of the housing and communicating with the insertion port, and a stage of second contact housing portions formed on the other side relative to the inner space of the housing and communicating with the insertion port.

主权项

1. A female connector, comprising: a housing disposed with a plurality of contacts to be connected to a card member having a card edge portion with a plurality of card edge terminals formed on a substrate, wherein the housing includes contact housing portions that house the contacts,
the housing having a flat opening portioninto which the card edge portion is inserted on one side, an insertion port through which a wire is inserted on the other side, and an inner space therein, the inner space communicating with the flat opening portion and acting as a portion in which the card edge portion is located,
the contact housing portions are arranged as at least two stages of first contact housing portions formed on one side relative to the inner space of the housing, the first contact housing portions communicating with the insertion port, and one stage of second contact housing portions formed on the other side relative to the inner space of the housing, the second contact housing portions communicating with the insertion port, wherein the first contact housing portions are made up of inner contact housing portions disposed adjacently to the inner space and at least one stage of outer contact housing portions disposed on the outside of the inner contact housing portions, the second contact housing portions are made up of another inner contact housing portions disposed adjacently to the inner space, the respective inner contact housing portions of the first contact housing portions and the another inner contact housing portions of the second contact housing portions are disposed oppositely to each other, the inner contact housing portions house first contacts to be directly connected to the card edger terminals while the outer contact housing portions house second contacts, the second contacts are coupled to relay terminals made of conductive material, and the relay terminals are extended in the inner space to be connected to the card edge terminals.
