ELECTRICAL CARD CONNECTOR WITH CONTACT MODULE

摘要

A card connector comprises an insulative housing, a plurality of contacts received in the insulative housing and a metallic cover covering the insulative housing. The contact includes a retaining portion, an extending portion horizontally and forwardly extending from the retaining portion, a connecting portion downwardly and forwardly aslant extending from the extending portion, a floating portion downwardly from the connecting portion and a contacting portion further downwardly extending from the floating portion. There are two bending points on linking portions of the connecting portion connecting with the floating portion and the extending portion, respectively. By such arrangement, when the electrical card is inserted, the contact can rotate about the two bending points in turn, that can improve an elasticity of the contact.

主权项

1. An electrical card connector comprising:
an insulative housing; an contact module fixed in the insulative housing, the contact module having an insulative block and a plurality of conductive contacts, each of the conductive contacts comprising a fixing portion extending along a horizontal direction and received in the insulative block, an extending portion extending from the fixing portion forwardly, a floating portion extending from the extending portion downwardly, and an engaging portion bending from the floating portion downwardly, the conductive contact defining a bending point between the floating portion and the extending portion; and a shell covering the insulative housing; wherein the insulative block comprises a plurality of tubers protruding from a front face forwardly, each of said tubers aligned with the corresponding contact to be located behind the floating portion and under the extending portion; wherein when the engaging portion is pushed backwardly, the floating portion deflects around the bending point initially and abuts against the tuber successively to deflect around the tuber continually.
