Abstract
Claims
1. A card edge connector, comprising an elongated insulating body, a card slot extending upward through the insulating body, and a plurality of terminal slots communicating with the card slot; the card slot is for inserting an electronic card, and the terminal slots house conductive terminals electrically connected to the electronic card; each conductive terminal includes a tail extending from bottom to top, a retaining portion extending from the tail into the terminal slot, a contact head electrically contacting the electronic card, and a connecting portion connecting the retaining portion and the contact head; wherein, The connecting portion is bent toward the end of the contact head to form a bent portion, which can be electrically connected to the end of the contact head.
2. The card edge connector as described in claim 1, wherein, The retaining part is fixed to the terminal slot on both sides in the longitudinal direction. The terminal slot has a support platform extending in the direction of the slot, and the support platform supports the retaining part.
3. The card edge connector as described in claim 1 or 2, wherein, The terminal slot is provided with a relief groove, which is formed by retracting away from the contact head.
4. The card edge connector as described in claim 1, wherein, The contact head includes a first contact portion that extends into the card slot. The electronic card is provided with a plurality of gold fingers. The first contact portion contacts the gold fingers to receive electrical signals and transmit them to the tail of the conductive terminal.
5. The card edge connector as described in claim 4, wherein, The contact head is formed by extending upward and then downward from the connecting portion. The first contact portion is located between the top and bottom of the contact head. The electrical signal is input from the first contact portion and passes sequentially through the bottom of the contact head, the bending portion, and the retaining portion, finally reaching the tail portion, thereby forming a shorter circuit.
6. The card edge connector as described in claim 5, wherein, The bending portion is provided with a second contact portion that contacts the end of the contact head, and the vertical distance between the first contact portion and the second contact portion is in the range of 0.5~0.6mm.
7. The card edge connector as described in claim 4, wherein, The electrical signal is input from the first contact portion and passes sequentially through the top of the contact head, the bending portion, the retaining portion, and finally reaches the tail portion, thereby forming a relatively long circuit.
8. The card edge connector as described in claim 7, wherein, The bending portion is provided with a second contact portion that contacts the end of the contact head, and the vertical distance between the top of the contact head and the second contact portion is in the range of 1.0~1.1mm.
9. The card edge connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein, Viewed in the direction of the bend, the end of the contact head is entirely located within the bend.
10. The card edge connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein, Viewed longitudinally, the bottom surface of the card slot is located between the retaining portions on opposite sides of the card slot.
