Miniaturized card edge connector with assembled terminal module

摘要

A card edge connector includes an insulative housing, first terminals and a terminal module embedded with second terminals. The housing defines a front face and a rear face, and a card receiving slot recessed from the front face to divided the housing to a first side wall and a second side wall. The first terminals are inserted in the first side wall from the rear face, the first terminals include retaining portions fixed in the first side wall, contacting portions protruding into the card receiving slot and board connecting portions. The second terminals include retained portions embedded in the terminal module, contacting portions and board connecting portions. The terminal module is assembled to the front face of the housing, the contacting portions of the second terminals are arranged along the second side wall and project in the card receiving slot.

主权项

1. A card edge connector comprising:
a longitudinal insulative housing defining a front face and a rear face opposite to the front face, and a card receiving slot recessed from the front face to the rear face and extending along a longitudinal direction of the insulative housing to divide the insulative housing into a first side wall and a second side wall opposite to each other; a plurality of first terminals inserted in the first side wall from the rear face, the first terminals comprising retaining portions fixed in the first side wall, contacting portions protruding into the card receiving slot and board connecting portions; and a terminal module embodied with a plurality of second terminals therein, the second terminal comprising retained portions embedded in the terminal module, contacting portions and board connecting portions; wherein the terminal module is assembled to the front face of the insulative housing, and the contacting portions of the second terminals are arranged along the second side wall and project in the card receiving slot; wherein the second side wall defines a plurality of terminal grooves, the contacting portions of the second terminals are received in the terminal grooves at the second side wall; wherein the insulative housing defines a pair of mounting holes disposed at the front face thereof, the terminal module defines a pair of mounting legs, the mounting legs lock into the mounting holes; wherein a height of the mounting legs is lower than that of the mounting holes.
