Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of adapters, and in particular to a Micro SD and CFe Type-A card adapter. Background Technology

[0002] CFe Type-A memory cards, short for CompactFlash express Type-A, are high-performance memory card formats designed to meet the high-speed and high-capacity demands of professional imaging equipment. They are a member of the CompactFlash (CF) card family, but compared to traditional CF cards, CFe Type-A offers significantly higher data transfer speeds and greater capacity potential. CFe Type-A memory cards utilize PCIe (PCI Express) interface technology, enabling them to achieve much faster data transfer speeds than traditional CF cards. This speed improvement is crucial for high-performance cameras, camcorders, and other professional imaging equipment that require processing large amounts of data.

[0003] The Micro SD card is an extremely small flash memory card invented by the well-known storage manufacturer SanDisk. Primarily used in mobile phones, its small size and large capacity have led to its increasing adoption in more portable devices. Measuring 15mm x 11mm x 1mm, roughly the size of a fingernail, it is currently the smallest memory card available.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it illustrates the specific structure of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, including a housing body 10, a PCB board 20, and a Micro SD card connector 30.

[0033] The overall outline of the housing body 10 is shaped like a CFe Type-A memory card. The housing body 10 has a cavity 101 inside. A through groove 102 is formed at the bottom front end of the housing body 10, communicating with the cavity 101. An insertion interface 403 adapted to a Micro SD card 40 is formed at the rear end of the housing body 10, communicating with the cavity 101. Specifically, the housing body 10 includes a main body 11 and a top cover 12. The main body 11 is made of a single piece of plastic. The top of the main body 11 has a recess 111 and a notch 112. The recess 111 has a rectangular structure. The through groove 102 is located at the bottom front end of the main body 11. The through groove 102 is square in shape and connects to the recess 111. Multiple snap-fit ​​slots 113 are recessed around the top periphery of the main body 11. The top cover 12 is made of metal and is flat. The top cover 12 is fixed to the main body 11. The top cover 12 covers the recess 111 and forms the aforementioned receiving cavity 101 and insertion interface 103. Furthermore, multiple fasteners 121 extend from the periphery of the top cover 12. The multiple fasteners 121 are respectively inserted into multiple fastening slots 113 to cooperate with the fasteners for fixation. The structure is simple and easy to assemble. In addition, the top surface of the top cover 12 is flush with the top surface of the main body 11.
