Abstract
A signal adapter for memory card serving as a signal bridge for transfer data between a memory card and a computer, etc, mainly comprise a base plate and an upper and a lower board, which enclose a plurality of overlapped slot space for receiving memory cards in different measurements. The signal adapter may be transplanting to a generic card reader to become a low-cost universal card reader for reading various memory cards.
Claims5
A signal adapter for memory card, comprising:
- an upper board;
- a base plate being extended horizontally from one end where a memory card enters to an opposite end, and comprising a plurality of overlapped channels for accommodating memory cards in different measurements said base plate having a multi-step structure in which each step structure is formed with a channel of specific width, height and length for receiving a memory card of a specific size;
- and
- a lower board;
- wherein electronic circuits are disposed on the base plate:
- a plurality of conductive terminals is arranged between those upper and lower boards for signal coupling;
- a plurality of contact terminals is soldered to the boards on respective surfaces facing the base plate for contact with an inserted memory card;
- and a plurality of overlapped slot spaces is naturally formed for signal transfer when the base plate and the upper and lower boards are combined together.
