Embodiment Construction

[0034] Referring to the attached picture, first look at Figure 1-7 , the present invention is used for memory card connector 22 ( Figure 17-19 ) in the form of an adapter 20 in which a receptacle 24 is capable of accommodating a standard memory card 26 of a larger size ("larger card", Figure 17 ). The housing is molded from plastic material.

[0035] look again Figure 1-7 , the adapter 20 includes a dielectric housing 28 substantially the same size and shape as the larger card 26 (eg Figure 17 shown). The housing has a generally flat receiving area 30, which is not deep, comprising a floor 30a, a pair of side walls 30b, an open end 30c and a closed end 30d. The receiving area accommodates a standard memory card 32 of smaller size ("smaller card", see Figure 8-12 ). smaller edge figure 1 Insert the accommodation area 30 in the direction of the middle arrow "D". A semicircular engagement groove 34 is formed on one side of the accommodation area, and an engagement ...

Abstract

An adapter (20) is provided for a memory card connector (22) which includes a receptacle (24) for receiving a larger size standard memory card (26) . The adapter includes a housing (28) having a size and shape on the order of that of the larger size standard memory card (26)for insertion into the receptacle of the connector. The housing includes a generally flat receiving area for receiving a smaller size standard memory card (32) for insertion with the housing into the receptacle. A clamping member (42) is provided on the housing for holding the smaller size standard memory card in the receiving area of the housing. Interengaging members are provided between the housing (28) and the smaller size standard memory card (32) to prevent the card from pulling out of the receiving area.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of electrical connectors, and more particularly to memory card connectors. More particularly, the invention relates to adapters for receiving memory cards of different sizes on memory card connectors. Background technique [0002] Memory cards in the known art store information in the form of memory circuits or other electronic programs. A type of card reader that reads the information stored on the card or memory device. Memory cards are widely used in today's electronic society, including camcorders, digital cameras, smart phones, PDAs, music players, ATMs, cable TV decoders, toys, games, PC adapters, multimedia cards, and other electronic devices. A memory card typically has an array of contacts or terminals that connect to a card reader and then to an end device via a card connector. The card can be inserted and removed from the connector for quick access to information and programs on the car...
