Embodiment Construction

[0019] Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a SIM card holder includes a housing 10 and a catching mechanism 20. A SIM card 30 is fixed on the housing 10 by the catching mechanism 20, and the SIM card 30 is electrically connected to a print circuit board (PCB, not shown) by a connector 40.

[0020] The housing 10 is approximately cuboid-shaped with a front surface 100 and a back surface 101. A receiving cavity 102 is defined in a bottom portion of the housing 10 for receiving a battery (not shown), and an opening 104 is defined in a top portion of the housing 10 for receiving the connector 40. The receiving cavity 102 is defined by four sidewalls 103. A nick or a hole 105 is defined in a sidewall 103 near the opening 104. Being adjacent to the nick 105, a protrusion 108 is formed on the front surface 100 of the housing 10, and located between the nick 105 and the opening 104. A slot 110 is defined at the front surface 100 of the housing 10 and is opposite to the protrusion 108 relative to ...

Abstract

A SIM card holder includes a base (10) and a catching mechanism (20). The base defines a receiving groove (114) and a slot (110). The receiving groove is configured for receiving the SIM card therein. The base comprises a protrusion (108). The protrusion and the slot are arranged at two opposite sides of the receiving groove. The catching mechanism comprises a main board (201) having a bending piece (202) and a bending hem (204) at two opposite ends thereof. The bending hem is engaged in the slot. The bending piece is engagable with the base so as to lock the SIM card in the receiving groove. The main board comprises an elastic slice resisting the protrusion when the bending piece is engaged with the base.
