Insulative housing structure of connector

摘要

An insulative housing of a PCMCIA card connector includes a header defining a plurality of passageways therein. The passageways are exposed to a rear face of the header for allowing contact elements to be inserted therein from the rear face. The header has a top face forming a post and an opposite bottom face defining a corresponding bore. The post pivotally supports a rocking arm of a card ejection mechanism for releasing a PCMCIA card from the connector. A number of insulative housings may be vertically stacked and precisely positioned with respect to each other by inserting the post of a lower housing into the bore of an upper housing thereby aligning the passageways of the housings. Contact elements fixed to a carrier strip and equally spaced therealong are simultaneously inserted into the passageways of the housings thereby enhancing the efficiency of assembling the PCMCIA card connectors.
