Abstract
The micro SIM card socket of the Present Disclosure, by manufacturing the contact terminals in a “U” shape, can resolve the problem of narrowing contact terminal installation space due to miniaturization trends, and also the problem of collision between the card front end and the contact terminals when a card is inserted; it can effectively prevent the malfunction or poor contact that can occur due to the inability of the contact terminals to firmly contact the connection terminals of the SIM card when the SIM card is inserted.
Claims10
A micro SIM card socket, comprising:
- an insulative housing wherein the SIM card is mounted;
- a metal shell that guides the insertion of the SIM card by coupling with the housing while maintaining a fixed interval from the housing;
- a plurality of contact terminals that contact the SIM card on one side and are fixed to a printed circuit board on the other side;
- a SIM card recognition terminal supported on the housing in order to recognize the insertion of the SIM card;
- and
- a locking part installed on the side of the housing so as to selectively fix the insertion location of the SIM card;
- wherein:
- the contact terminals have a “U” shape and the terminals on one side of the contact terminals have a tensioned sloping part that is elastically pressed against the SIM card end when the SIM card is inserted, and
- on the end of the tensioned sloping part is formed a contact part that contacts the connection terminal of the SIM card.

A micro SIM card socket, furnished with:
- a housing whereto is mounted a SIM card, and contact terminals that are supported on the housing, wherein the contact terminals are furnished with:
- a tensioned sloping part that is formed bending upward, and
- a contact part that extends from the tensioned sloping part, so that when the SIM card is inserted, the contact terminals strike against the printed circuit board and generate a secondary moment, so as to ensure firm contact to the connection terminals of the SIM card.
