Abstract
A stacked electrical card connector assembly (1) comprises an upper connector (10), a lower connector (20), and a FPC (flexible printed circuit) (30) connecting with the upper connector (10) and the lower connector (20). The FPC (30) includes a first contacting portion (32) having a plurality of spring arms (226) received in an opening of a lower frame (22) of the lower connector (20) and a second contacting portion (34) connected with a plurality of signal contacts (16) defined in an upper header (12) of the upper connector (20).
Claims8
A stacked electrical card connector assembly mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB), comprising:
- an upper connector having an insulative upper header and a plurality of electrical contacts in the header;
- a lower connector having an insulative lower header and a metallic lower frame assembled to the header, the frame having an opening defined therein;
- and
- a transition device having a first contacting portion and a second contacting portion, the first contacting portion having a plurality of spring arms exposed to the opening of the lower frame, the second contacting portion being connected with the electrical contacts of the upper connector.
A stacked electrical card connector assembly comprising:
- an upper connector having an insulative upper header and a plurality of electrical contacts in the header for coupling to a first type card;
- a lower connector having an insulative lower header and a metallic lower frame assembled to the header, said frame defining a receiving space therein;
- and
- an FPC defining a first contacting portion and a second contacting portion, the first contacting portion having a plurality of conductive spring arms extending along a plane of said FPC into said receiving space for coupling to a second type card, the second contacting portion being connected with the electrical contacts of the upper connector;
- wherein
- said FPC is electrically connected to a printed circuit board on which the connectors are mounted.
