Connector

The present disclosure provides a conductive terminal and an electrical connector assembly. The conductive terminal comprises: a base unit, a contacting unit, a connecting piece and a tail unit. The connecting piece connects the base unit and the contacting unit. The base unit comprises a plate portion extending along a front-rear direction. The contacting unit faces the plate portion, is spaced apart from the plate portion and comprises a plate-shaped contacting portion and an elastic contacting portion positioned behind the plate-shaped contacting portion. The tail unit is connected to a rear end of the plate portion. In the electrical connector assembly, in every two mated conductive terminals between the first connector and the second connector, the elastic contacting portion of one conductive terminal contacts the plate-shaped contacting portion of the other conductive terminal and the elastic contacting portion of the other conductive terminal contacts the plate-shaped contacting portion of the one conductive terminal, so that two contacting regions are formed between the every two mated conductive terminal.

Terminal and connector assembly

A conductive terminal is provided which includes a base unit, two elastic contact pieces, a tail unit and two contact plates. The base unit includes a bottom plate extending along a front-rear direction and two side plates integrally extending upwardly from a left and right sides of the bottom plate respectively. The two elastic contact pieces are arranged side by side, each elastic contact piece comprises a connecting portion bent upwardly from a front end of the bottom plate, an arm portion extending rearwardly from the connecting portion, positioned above the bottom plate and spaced apart from the bottom plate, and a first contact portion positioned at a rear end of the arm portion. The tail unit is connected to a rear end of the bottom plate. The two contact plates are respectively bent from two upper edges of two front ends of the two side plates toward each other.

Conductive terminal and electrical connector assembly

A card connector includes a main body having a receiving space, a plurality of terminals attached to the main body, a card ejecting mechanism including a levering member pivoted adjacent to the rear of the receiving space and an actuator movable inward and outward, and two detective terminals below the actuator, forming a switching circuit with the actuator for controlling electrical connectivity of the terminals. The actuator is configured to rotate the levering member. When the actuator is at the outward position, the plurality of terminals in enabled; when the actuator is moved beyond a triggering position, the plurality of terminals is disabled.
