Abstract
A cartridge may be inserted into a cartridge insertion slot of a game apparatus in a first direction. The cartridge may include: a terminal placement region that includes four groups of terminals configured to electrically connect to terminals in the cartridge insertion slot of the game apparatus. Each group of terminals may include a first terminal that extends longitudinally in the first direction and two second terminals that extend longitudinally and are positioned sequentially in the first direction, the first terminal and the two second terminals being positioned sequentially in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction. Each group of terminals may be arranged sequentially in the second direction.
Claims21
A cartridge configured to be inserted into a cartridge insertion slot of a game apparatus in a first direction, the cartridge comprising:
- a first group of terminals comprising a first terminal and a second terminal, the first terminal being longer than the second terminal in the first direction, and the first terminal and the second terminal being adjacent one another in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction and spaced apart by a first distance;
- and
- a third terminal being adjacent to the second terminal in the second direction and spaced apart from the second terminal by a second distance, and the second distance being greater than the first distance.
A cartridge configured to be inserted into a cartridge insertion slot of a game apparatus in a first direction, the cartridge comprising:
- a plurality of groups of terminals, each group of terminals comprising a first terminal and two second terminals, and each of the second terminals being positioned adjacent to the first terminal in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction and spaced apart from the first terminal by a first distance,
- wherein the second terminals of a first group of terminals are positioned adjacent to the first terminal of a second group of terminals in the second direction, and the second terminals of the first group of terminals are spaced apart from the first terminal of the second group of terminals by a second distance greater than the first distance.
