Abstract
An electrical card connector (1) stacking on a bracket (2) for receiving a hard disk drive comprises an insulating body (3) having a transverse wall (31) far from a front edge (22) of the bracket (2) and relatively adjacent to a rear edge (23) of the bracket (2), a shielding shell (7) covering on the insulating body (3), and a plurality of terminals (5) retained in the insulating body (3). Each terminal (5) has a securing portion secured in the transverse wall (31), an engaging portion (50) extending ahead from the transverse wall (31) for electrically connecting with the electronic card, and an extended portion (51) extending backwardly from the transverse wall (31) and towards and further beyond the rear edge (23) of the bracket (2).
Claims16
An electrical card connector stacking on a bracket for receiving a hard disk drive comprising:
- an insulating body having a transverse wall mounted on a rear portion of the bracket;
- a shielding shell mounted on the bracket and connecting with the insulating body in a front-to-rear direction for covering on the insulating body, the shielding shell and the insulating body combining to define a receiving room for receiving an electronic card, the receiving room providing an opening close to a front edge of the bracket;
- and
- a plurality of terminals retained in the insulating body and each terminal having a securing portion secured in the transverse wall of the insulating body, an engaging portion extending ahead from the transverse wall and into the receiving room for electrically connecting with the electronic card, and an extended portion extending backwardly from the transverse wall and towards and further beyond the rear edge of the bracket;
- wherein
- the transverse wall of the insulating body keeps a distance off the rear edge of the bracket;
- the bracket being formed as a bottom plate of the receiving room and being longer than the receiving room formed by the shielding shell and the insulating body in a front-to-rear direction;
- the insulating body is mounted beyond the rear edge of the bracket.
An electrical card connector assembly comprising:
- a bracket for receiving a hard disk drive;
- and
- an electrical card connector stacking on the bracket comprising:
- an insulating body having a transverse wall
- mounted on a rear portion of the bracket;
- a shielding shell mounted on the bracket and connecting with the insulating body in a front-to-rear direction for covering on the insulating body, the shielding shell and the insulating body combining to define a receiving room for receiving an electronic card, the receiving room providing an opening close to the front edge of the bracket;
- and
- a plurality of terminals retained in the insulating body and each terminal having a securing portion secured in the transverse wall of the insulating body, an engaging portion extending ahead from the transverse wall and into the receiving room for electrically connecting with the electronic card, and an extended portion extending backwardly from the transverse wall and towards and further beyond a rear edge of the bracket;
- wherein
- the transverse wall of the insulating body keeps a distance off the rear edge of the bracket;
- the bracket being formed as a bottom plate of the receiving room and being longer than the receiving room formed by the shielding shell and the insulating body in a front-to-rear direction;
- the insulating body is mounted beyond the rear edge of the bracket.
An electrical card connector stacking on a bracket for receiving a hard disk drive comprising:
- an insulating body having a transverse wall far from a front edge of the bracket and relatively adjacent to a rear edge of the bracket;
- a shielding shell covering on the insulating body, the shielding shell and the insulating body combining to define a receiving room for receiving an electronic card, the receiving room providing an opening close to the front edge of the bracket;
- and
- a plurality of terminals retained in the insulating body and each terminal having a securing portion secured in the transverse wall of the insulating body, an engaging portion extending ahead from the transverse wall and into the receiving room for electrically connecting with the electronic card, and an extended portion extending backwardly from the transverse wall and towards and further beyond the rear edge of the bracket;
- wherein
- the transverse wall of the insulating body keeps a distance off the rear edge of the bracket;
- wherein the terminal has a vertical portion extending downwardly from the extended portion thereof, further comprising a locator receiving and securing the vertical portions of the terminals;
- wherein the locator is assembled between the pair of guiding arms of the insulating body;
- wherein the locator has a pair of end walls abutting against inner surfaces of the guiding arms of the insulating body.
