CARD CONNECTOR WITH IMPROVED CONTACTS

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. A card connector, adapted for electrically connecting an electrical card, comprises:
an insulative housing, the insulative housing defining a top wall and a receiving cavity with an opening in the top wall, a bottom wall opposite to the top wall, two sidewalls, a rear wall, a front wall and a linking wall disposed between the front wall and the rear wall and connecting the top wall and the bottom wall, and the front wall, the bottom wall, the two sidewalls and the linking wall cooperatively defining the receiving cavity; a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing with corresponding contact portions extending into the receiving cavity; a metallic shell enclosing the housing to cover the side walls; and a detect pin located around one corresponding side wall with a mating portion extending into the receiving cavity for engagement within a notch of one type inserted electronic card, and with a touch portion to contact the shell when another type inserted electronic card without corresponding side notches is received in the receiving cavity.
