Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an electrical card connector that has a stable and smooth guide rod, prevents shaking, and reliably connects to the electrical card. The connector has an insulating housing with a guide rib and a slider that slides into the housing. A spring is introduced between the housing and the slider, and a guide groove in the slider engages with the guide rib. A shielding member is mounted on the housing, and a tab abuts against the guide rod. The technical effects of the invention are improved stability and smoothness of the guide rod, reliable and electrical connection to the electrical card, and a stable configuration of the connector.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the configuration of the conventional electrical card connector, the slider 31 is slideably engaged with the insulating housing 1; the slider is thus likely to shake up and down while sliding along the insulating housing.
It is also likely that this configuration becomes flexible when the shaking is enhanced, which adversely affects the operation of the ejector 3 and the whole electrical card connector.
The electrical card thus cannot reliably electrically connect to the electrical card connector.

Embodiment Construction

[0027] Referring to FIGS. 2-4, an electrical card connector used for receiving or ejecting an electrical card in accordance with the present invention is shown. The electrical card connector comprises an insulating housing 5, a plurality of conductive terminals, an ejector 7, a spring switch 8, and a shielding member 9. The insulating housing 5 is made of plastic material, and includes a base portion 51, a first side arm 52 and a second side arm 52 parallel extending from two ends of the base portion 51. The first side arm 51 and the second side arm 52 both are formed in a discontinuous style in this embodiment, but can also be formed in a continuous style. The base portion 51, the first side arm 53, and the second side arm 53 form a receiving cavity 54 therebetween for retaining electrical cards. The insulating housing 5 has a guide rib 55 adjacent to the first side arm 52, and two longitudinal slots 56 disposed at opposite sides of the guide rib 55, respectively. The guide rib 55 ...

Abstract

An electrical card connector, in which a shielding member introduced therein has a tab using for abutting against a top of a guide rod so as to limit an upward displacement of the guide rod. This configuration can prevent the guide rod from shaking up and down. The guide rod is thus securely fixed. On the other hand, the guide rod further includes a guide groove slideably mated with a corresponding guide rib of an insulating housing, which make the slider slide reliably in a front-to-back direction. Moreover, the slider further includes a spring switching for abutting against and fixing an inserted electrical card. Thereby, the electrical cards can be engaged in the receiving cavity reliably.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an electrical card connector, and particularly to an electrical card connector mounted on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) for retaining an electrical card therein. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] Recently, electrical cards are widely used in the field of electronic appliances. Electrical card connectors are adapted to connect the electrical cards to the appliances, in which the electrical card connectors are mounted on a PCB of the appliances and electrical cards are retained therein, so that information can be transferred therebetween. [0005] Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional electrical card connector is shown, which includes an insulating housing 1, a plurality of conductive terminals 2, and an ejector 3. The insulating housing 1 has a base portion 11, a first side arm 12 and a second side arm 13 extending parallel to each other from two ends of the base portion 11, res...
