The card connector can adequately detect the state in which an electronic device such as a memory card to be inserted and removed is fitted, and saves the footprint for mounting the card connector. With this card connector, a card detection switch detects a state in which a memory card is fitted in an accommodating part of a housing through an insertion slot. The card detection switch has movable terminals and fixed terminals, and the movable terminals each have a card contact part which is displaced by being pressed by the memory card to be inserted, and a movable contact part which is displaced in a same direction as a direction in which card contact part is displaced following displacement of the card contact part. The fixed terminals are each arranged in the housing to project in a direction to interest the direction in which the movable contact part is displaced, and is slid against by the movable contact part when the movable contact part is displaced.

A receptacle connector prevents a plug from being obliquely inserted with a simple configuration. Receptacle connectorhas: a hollow rectangular shape shield case () which is made by machining a metal plate and which includes fitting slot; and a housing () which is covered by the shield case () and in which contacts () to be connected with terminal parts () of an inserted plug () are disposed. In the shield case (), a projecting part () is formed extending along one side of the fitting slot () by denting an upper plate part (), which defines the accommodating part () accommodating the plug (), to project toward an accommodating region (). An end surface () of this projecting part () on the fitting slot () side is closer to the fitting slot () side than the contacts () and forms a plane orthogonal to the upper plate part ().

Receptacle connector, plug connector and connector apparatus

A connector adequately detects a state of an electronic component such as a memory card which is fitted in the connector by way of insertion, even when scrapes of a housing of the electronic component are produced due to insertion and removal of the electronic component which is fitted. In this connector (), detecting parts (A andB), which detect that a memory card () is fitted completely in an accommodating part () or detect whether or not data can be written in the memory card (), have fixed terminals () and movable terminals (). In the movable terminal (), a card contacting part () placed in the accommodating part () is pressed by the memory card (), so that a movable contact part () contacts and conducts with the fixed terminal (). An isolating wall part () is provided between the contacting part () and the movable contact part () to isolate a contact area between the movable contact part () and the fixed terminal (), from the contacting area between the contacting part () and the memory card ().

Connector

An interface connector makes the pitches between the contacts narrower and realizes miniaturization of the connector. This connector () has: a shield case () that includes a fitting slot () into which an electronic component inserted from an open side fits; a housing () that is covered by the shield case (); and a plurality of contacts (A andB). In the shield case (), a plurality of contacts (A andB) are disposed along the insertion direction in the housing () and contact point parts () are aligned in a row in the direction orthogonal to the insertion direction. Lead parts () of contacts (A andB) which are adjacent in the direction orthogonal to the insertion direction, project from rear surface () of the connector (), alternately in the directions orthogonal to the insertion direction and the direction in which the contact point parts are aligned in a row.

Connector for memory card

A process for arranging a number of micro-bodies efficiently and precisely as one on one spot on a substrate. Charged spots are formed by a converging ion beam or the like on a substrate having an insulating property or the like, and micro-bodies having a size of 200 microns or less are attracted and stuck to the charged spots.

Process for precise arrangement of micro-bodies

An insulative connector body is accommodated in a conductive shield case. A conductive contact is provided on the connector body. An insulative cover is accommodated in the shield case so as to be slidable between a first position for concealing the contact and a second position for exposing a part of the contact and allowing a mating connector to electrically contact therewith. A conductive shield member is attached onto a front face of the cover which faces the mating connector.

Electrical connector

An electrical connector includes a socket connector engagable with a plug connector. The plug connector slides into a recess of the socket connector and is securely guided and aligned with connection terminals during insertion. Complementary joining parts on the inside of the recess and the outer surface of the socket connector engage, prevent the socket connector from damaging the connection terminals in the recess, and securely guide the socket connector during insertion and reuse.

A connector which includes a connector socket and a mated connector plug to be fitted into the connector socket has a socket body which includes upper and lower terminal holding portions. The upper and lower terminal holding portions each have a plurality of terminals which are arranged in a row along the width direction of the socket body. The upper and lower terminal holding portions are arranged so as to face each other through a predetermined spacing. The connector socket further has a rib for maintaining the spacing between the upper and lower terminal holding portions for preventing both the terminal holding portions from being deformed so that they approach each other. The rib is integrally formed with the upper and lower terminal holding portions and arranged substantially at the center of the width direction of the socket body. The mated connector plug has a plate member which is inserted into the spacing when the connector plug is connected to the connector socket.
