IC card connector

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the number of part items and ensure a miniaturized and thinner device. SOLUTION: A card carrier passage 5 provided with a cover 2 and a base 3 laminated thereon is formed. For a contact 23, a base part 23a is held by means of the base 3, movement in an A-B direction is restricted, and a contact part 23d can be freely advanced and retracted in the card carrier passage 5 by elastic deformation. A moving piece 17 can move freely in the A-B direction in parallel to the card carrier passage 5, a protrusion 20 with which the tip end of an IC card 30 is engaged is protruded in the card carrier passage 5. For the moving piece 17, a protrusion part 21 to be engaged with the contact 23 by moving it in the A direction and allowing the contact part 23d to be advanced into the card carrier passage 5 is protruded.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a contact part which can be connected with an electrode part of an IC card and which can be inserted and pulled out of the IC card. Background technique [0002] Figure 7 A plan view representing a connector of an IC card with technology, Figure 8 yes Figure 7 In this VIII-VIII line cross-sectional view, (a) shows the state when the IC card starts to be inserted, and (b) shows the state when the IC card is inserted to the end of the card insertion path. [0003] In these figures, the IC card connector represented by 40 as a whole is formed with a card insertion passage 43 having a card insertion opening 44 and two side parts 45a, 45b by an upper plate 41 and a bottom plate 42, and the bottom plate 42 is pierced. There is a rectangular window 46 extending along the arrow E-F direction. [0004] 47 is a pair of guide walls erected on the upper surface, and inclined guide grooves 48 are formed at positions facing each other. ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0013] In the connector of above-mentioned known IC card, because it is a structure that the moving part 50 equipped with the contact part 51 is moved, therefore not only must be provided with flexible elastic between the contact part 51 and the printed substrate 58. The printed substrate 57 also has to mount another printed substrate between the contacts 51 and the flexible printed substrate 57, and therefore, the number of parts increases.

Moreover, when the movable member 50 moves, since it is necessary to provide a storage space in consideration of the flexure of the elastic printed circuit board 57, miniaturization will be hindered.

[0014] Moreover, because it is a structure that moves the moving part 50 toward the oblique direction of the arrow G-H direction, there must be an operating space in which the moving part 50 can be moved in the up and down direction of the card conveying path 43, so the connector of the IC card There will be a problem of becoming larger in the thickness direction
