Abstract

A module socket 1, which is specifically suitable for use together along with a camera module in a mobile telephone, has a structure for compensating the manufacture deviation in the camera module. The socket has an insulation housing 11 surrounded by a conductive metal shell 71. Spring arms extends from the inside of the socket towards the housing bottom, and are jointed with the shoulder or surface formed oppositely on the module. A series of conductive terminals are supported by the housing, and the terminals extend from the housing bottom in the socket upward. The terminals respectively cleavage or bifurcated ends having two contact arms 68, the ends bend upwards at two different angles, so that each terminal has two different contact arms located at different heights. So that a plurality of contact arms can compensate and contact with modules with different thickness or variable thickness.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to a socket for modules, and more particularly to a socket with improved connection reliability. Background technique [0002] Generally, sockets have been used to mount camera modules integrated with imaging devices such as CCDs (Charge Coupled Devices), CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image sensors, etc., and optical elements such as lenses, etc. One such structure is described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open (Kokai) No. 2003-91685. [0003] FIG. 10 is a sectional view of such a conventional camera module socket. [0004] Reference numeral 801 denotes a housing of the socket for modules, and 802 denotes a camera module accommodated in the socket housing 801 . Likewise, two sets of locking means 804 are provided on the inner surface of the socket housing 801 facing the side walls and engage locking surfaces 810 formed on the shoulders of the camera module 802 to lock the camera module ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Also, when the socket is subjected to an impact from the outside for any possible reason, the contact between the connection terminal 807 and the contact part formed on the bottom of the camera module 802 cannot be reliably maintained.
