Abstract
An electrical card connector for receiving a first card and a second card comprises a first insulating housing and a second insulating housing. The first housing defines a bottom surface, a concave portion formed from the bottom surface of the first housing upwardly and having a pair of walls. The second housing has two opposite second sidewalls. Either the walls of the first housing or the sidewalls of the second housing have notches, while the other ones have corresponding latches for engaging with the notches, and the second housing is assembled onto the first housing forming a receiving slot for receiving the second card.

An electrical card connector for receiving a first card and a second card comprising:
- a first insulating housing defining a bottom surface;
- a second insulating housing having two opposite second sidewalls;
- a concave portion formed from the bottom surface of the first housing upwardly and having a pair of walls;
- and
- either the walls of the first housing or the second sidewalls of the second housing having notches, while the other ones having corresponding latches for engaging with notches, and the second housing assembled onto the first housing forming a receiving slot for receiving the second card.
An electrical connector, comprising:
- an insulative housing including a partition defining an upper receiving space for receiving a first mating connector;
- a pair of standoff walls spaced apart from each and each defining a plurality of retaining slots therein and in communication with a plurality of passageways defined in the partition;
- a plurality of first set of contact terminals each having a base portion positioned in the corresponding retaining slot, and having a mating portion extending into the passageway and into the upper receiving space;
- a sub-housing disposed between the standoff walls, and having a plurality of second sets contact terminals assembled therein, the sub-housing including a mating interface defining a second receiving space with the partition for receiving a second mating connector which is different to the first mating connector;
- and
- a metal shield attached to the housing from atop to substantially surrounding the housing to provide shield thereof.
A shielded electrical connector, comprising:
- an insulative housing including a supporting bracket with a pair of standoff extending downward;
- peripheral walls extending upward from the supporting bracket to define sidewalls and the rear wall;
- a plurality of contacting terminals securely positioned in the standoff and with contact engaging portion extending above the supporting bracket;
- a metal shield attached to the housing and having a top plate to jointly define a receiving space above the supporting bracket for receiving a first mating connector;
- and
- a sub-connector received under the supporting bracket for receiving a second connector which is different to the first mating connector.
