A electrical connector () includes an insulative housing () defining a plurality of contact slots () extending along a longitudinal direction, a plurality of cantilevered arms () extending into the contact slots, respectively, and a transversal groove () located in front of the cantilevered arms and communicating with the contact slots; a plurality of contacts () received in the contact slots, respectively, each contact having a retention portion (), a mating portion () extending forwardly from the retention portion, a tail portion () extending backwardly from the retention portion and a connecting portion () connected to the mating portion, and a positioning portion (') integrally formed with the retention portion and extending into the transversal groove.

Electrical connector

An electrical card connector includes an insulative housing, a number of contacts and a push-push mechanism. The push-push mechanism includes a slider, an elastic member for driving the slider and a locking arm fixed to the slider. The locking arm includes a hook protruding into a card receiving space for locking with the card when the card is fully inserted into the card receiving space at a card locking position. When the card is ejected under a normal speed, the locking arm can be outwardly deformed to disengage from the card at a card release position. When the card is ejected under an abnormal speed faster than the normal speed, the slider gets over the card release position where the locking arm is restricted by a stop member to prevent the hook from releasing the card.

Electrical card connector with a stop member for temporarily preventing a card from ejecting from the card release position

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing and a first and second contact received in the housing. The housing defines a mating face, a rear face opposite to the mating face, and a supporting face disposed between the mating and rear faces. A mating cavity recesses from the mating face towards the supporting face and disposed therebetween, and a receiving groove recesses forwards from the rear face and runs through the supporting face to communicate with the mating cavity. The first contact is retained in the receiving groove with an elastic contacting porting running through the supporting face and projecting into the mating cavity. The second contact is retained in the housing and includes two opposite second contacting portions disposed at two opposite sides of the elastic contacting portion of the first contact. A mating connector can be rotated to disengage from the electrical connector.

Connector assembly featured with quick-release mechanism

An electrical card connector () includes an insulative housing () defining a card receiving room, at least one set of terminals () retained in the insulative housing, and an ejector attached on the insulative housing. Each terminal has a soldering portion () extending out of the insulative housing and a contacting portion () extending towards the card receiving room. The ejector includes a slider (), at least one spring member () and at least one pin member () cammedly pushing an inserted card. The slider includes a base portion () pressing against the contacting portions of the terminals and a pair of arm portions () extending laterally from the base portion. The base portion defines a number of passageways () and forms a number of protrusions () extending into the corresponding passageways. The slider blocks the contacting portions from entering the card receiving room at an original position and moves to an inner position for giving way for the contacting portions. The contacting portions extend through the passageways into the card receiving room are supported by the protrusions.
