Electronic card connector having a mounting portion readily mountable to circuit board

摘要

An electronic card connector includes a connector portion having a header retaining a plurality of first contact elements therein. Each first contact element has a first end extending beyond a first face of the header for engaging with an electronic card and a second end extending beyond a second face of the header. A mounting portion includes a housing defining a plurality of passageways between third and fourth faces thereof for receiving and retaining second contact elements therein. The second ends of the first contact elements are inserted into the passageways of the mounting portion from the third face thereof for electrically engaging with the corresponding second contact elements. A slot is defined in the fourth face of the mounting portion for receiving a circuit board. The slot is in communication with the passageways whereby the second contact elements are partially extended into the slot for electrically engaging with the circuit board. A pair of guide arms extend from the second face of the connector portion for snugly receiving and retaining the mounting portion therebetween.
