Embodiment Construction

[0038] See accompanying drawing, as Fig. 1, the card type connector 1 of the present invention comprises a shell assembly 2 that can accommodate storage devices such as memory card or PC card, and a plug socket assembly 3, its plug 20 ( Figure 9 and 13 ) is inserted into the socket of each storage device inserted in the housing assembly. The plug socket assembly 3 is suitable for being fixed on a printed circuit board (or PCB).

[0039] Such as Figures 2 to 7 , the housing assembly 2 includes upper and lower partitions 4a and 4b, which are combined into a double-layer structure. Each compartment is rectangular to define a card storage space 5 capable of receiving and enclosing at least a portion of each storage device. Compartments 4a and 4b are on the front side ( figure 2 The upper side) opening has a card insertion port 6. Each compartment includes a card ejection mechanism 7 consisting of an ejection lever 8 and an ejection lever 9 . The pop-up lever 8 can slide lo...

Abstract

The invention relates to a card connector for connecting a storage device to a printed circuit board, comprising: a housing assembly for accommodating the storage device, which includes at least one for sealing at least one storage device at least a portion of the compartment; a plug connector assembly including an insulating chamber having a plurality of signal terminals mounted therein, each terminal having a plug adapted to be inserted into a receptacle of a storage device, and solderable Welding leads on the printed circuit board, and a plurality of ground terminals arranged parallel to the signal terminals; wherein, the housing assembly is adapted to be respectively connected with corresponding slots on one side of the housing assembly and the insulating chamber of the plug connector assembly through the engaging components Engage each other so that the housing assembly and the plug connector assembly are assembled after the solder leads of the signal terminals of the plug connector assembly are soldered to the printed circuit board. In particular, the housing assembly is a double-layer structure with upper and lower compartments.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an improved card connector for the electrical connection of a card storage device, such as a communication card, memory card or hard disk drive (HDD), and its assembly. Background technique [0002] Card connectors have been widely used in personal computers, portable computers, notebook computers, etc. A card connector generally includes a housing assembly that accommodates a card storage device, and a plug connector assembly. The housing assembly is generally a two-layer structure that accommodates two cards, including upper and lower compartments enclosing at least a portion of each card, each compartment being equipped with an ejection mechanism. The plug of the plug socket assembly can be inserted into the socket of the storage device inserted in the compartment (see pending patent application numbers 6-332573 and 7-302645). [0003] Card connectors can be installed on computers in different ways. One of the way...
