Abstract
A card connector including a base, a housing, a terminal set, a first detecting conductive element, and a slidable unit is provided. The housing is disposed on the base, and defines a receiving space with the base. The terminal set is secured to a certain position of the base. The first detecting conductive element is engaged to the base, and has an end electrically connected to a circuit board. The slidable unit includes a sliding block and a second detecting conductive element. The second detecting conductive element is engaged in the sliding block. The second detecting conductive element includes a first contact portion exposing from the sliding block and being in contact with the housing. The first detecting conductive element is positioned on a moving path of the second detecting conductive element.
Claims7
A card connector, comprising:
- a base, having a slide guiding slot extending substantially along a direction of an electronic card inserted, and the base being secured on a circuit board;
- a housing, disposed on the base, being a conductive material and electrically coupled to the circuit board, wherein the housing and the base define a receiving space for receiving an electronic card;
- a terminal set, engaged to the base, having a plurality of terminals, each of which has both ends, one exposed in the receiving space and the other electrically connected to the circuit board;
- a first detecting conductive element, disposed on the base, having an end to connect to the circuit board;
- and
- a slidable unit, disposed in the slide guiding slot and slidable therein comprising:
- a sliding block, mainly secured in the slide guiding slot of the base and slidable therein, wherein the sliding block comprises a protrusion projecting toward the receiving space;
- and
- a second detecting conductive element, secured in the sliding block, comprising a first contact portion in contact with the housing;
- wherein at least a portion of the first detecting conductive element is positioned in a moving path of the second detecting conductive element to establish an electrical connection with the second detecting conductive element when the second detecting conductive element slides with the sliding block.
