Connector for card

Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to miniaturize the card connector device, the information card loaded in it forms a thin step along the side edge, and a slidable identification member is provided in a recess cut out on a part of the step. It has a frame 10 with a planar shape of "コ", a marker detection mechanism 30 installed on the frame 10, an insertion completion detection mechanism 40, terminals 50a~50I, a card insertion and discharge mechanism 60 set on the frame 10 and a cover. The cover 70 above the frame 10 has an insertion space for the information card 1. The movable contact member 31 and the fixed contact member 32 are provided on the frame 10 , and the protrusion 31 a formed on a part of the movable contact member 31 is disposed at a portion where the stepped portion 3 a in the insertion space 15 passes. When the information card 1 is inserted into the insertion space 15, the protrusion 31a is brought into contact with the upper surface of the stepped portion 3a and / or the upper surface of the identification member 5, so that it moves in the cutout space of the stepped portion 3a.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a connector device for a card, which is equipped with an information card containing a semiconductor chip inside, and connects an external connection terminal provided on the information card with a circuit formed on a circuit board; In particular, the invention relates to a marker detection mechanism that can be slidably arranged on an information card. Background technique [0002] As mobile information devices that can be detachably installed on electronic devices such as personal computers, video recorders, electronic cameras, and mobile phones, information cards containing semiconductor chips and having a card-like shape are known so far. The known structure of this information card is to form a thin step portion along the side edge, and a slidable identification member is provided in a recess cut out on a part of the step portion. Changing the slide position can, for example, prohibit the recording or reproductio...

[0009] But, Figure 13 In the card connector device 200A of the first example shown, since the movable contact member 204a and the fixed contact member 204b constituting the tag detection mechanism 204 are arranged facing the side surface of the stepped portion 101 formed on the information card 100, , Compared with the card connector device without identification part detection mechanism, it has the disadvantage of widening the transverse width W

on the other hand, Figure 14 In the card connector device 200B of the second example shown, since the movable contact member 204a and the fixed contact member 204b constituting the tag detection mechanism 204 are arranged facing the upper surface of the stepped portion 101 formed on the information card 100, it is compatible with the card connector device 200B. Compared with a card connector device without a marker detection mechanism, there is a disadvantage that the thickness T is increased
