Abstract
A card connector includes an insulating housing (1), a number of contacts (4) and a holding plate (8′, 8). The insulating housing (1) defines a card receiving space (130) with a card inserting opening along a card inserting direction. The contacts (4) include bended contacting portions cantilevered exposed in the card receiving space (130) and soldering portions retained on the insulating housing. The holding plate (8′, 8) is assembled to the insulating housing and formed with a receiving portion, free ends of the contacting portions of the contacts (4) are received in the receiving portion of the holding plate to avoid colliding with a card directly.
Claims19
A card connector, comprising:
- an insulating housing defining a card receiving space with a card inserting opening along a card inserting direction;
- a plurality of contacts comprising bended contacting portions cantilevered exposed in the card receiving space and soldering portions retained on the insulating housing;
- and
- a holding plate assembled to the insulating housing and formed with a receiving portion, free ends of the contacting portions of the first contacts being received in the receiving portion of the holding plate to avoid colliding with a card directly.
A card connector comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a card receiving space therein;
- a first contact module having a first insulative structure immoveable relative to the housing and having a first set of contacts embedded therein via an insert molding procedure, free ends of the first set of contacts being free from said first contact module without restriction;
- a plurality of protrusions being immoveable relative to the housing and located around the free ends of the first set of contacts for protecting said free ends from collision;
- wherein
- said protrusions are not integrally formed with said first insulative structure.
A card connector comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a card receiving space therein;
- a first contact module having a first insulative structure immoveable relative to the housing and having a first set of contacts embedded therein via an insert molding procedure, free ends of the first set of contacts being free from said first contact module without restriction;
- a plurality of receiving openings being formed within a second insulative structure which is immoveable relative to the housing and the first insulative structure, said receiving openings receiving the free ends of the first set of contacts for protecting said free ends from collision;
- wherein
- said second insulative structure are not integrally formed with said first insulative structure.
The card connector as claimed 18, wherein said first insulative structure and said second insulative structure are fastened together.
