An electrical connector includes an insulating housing having a mating cavity and at least a contact retained in the housing. The contact defines a retaining portion, a resilient arm extending forwards from a front edge of the retaining portion and a soldering portion extending out of the housing. The resilient arm defines a contacting portion projecting into the mating cavity at a front end thereof and a skirt bending from a side edge of the resilient arm and angled with the resilient arm. The skirt provided in the resilient arm can enhance the rigidity of the contact.

Electrical connector with improved contacts

An electrical connector () includes an insulative housing () defining a plurality of passageways () with an inserted opening (), a plurality of forniciform terminals () inserted into the passageways () from the inserted openings () and disposed therein, each defining a soldering portion () extending towards outside of the insulative housing () and a connecting portion () folding and extending from one end of soldering portion (). Each of the connecting portions () covers the inserted opening (), both cut sides () of which are pressed against by a pair of protecting protrusions () which integrally protrudes outwards from both sides of inserted opening () of the insulative housing ().

Electrical connector having passageways protected from contamination

An electrical connector () includes a base () having an upper wall (), a lower wall (), a pair of connecting walls () connecting the upper and lower wall together, and a slot () opening frontwardly for receiving a card () between the upper wall and the lower wall, the lower wall protruding to the forefront of the connector and forming a pair of supporting portions () before the connecting walls, a plurality of terminals () retained in the base (), and a housing portion () defined on the upper wall of the base (), the housing position () receiving a protrusion of other connector stacked on the electrical connector ().

Electrical connector

A latching mechanism () for use with an electrical connector to hold an electronic card on a printed circuit board, the latching mechanism () includes at least one supporting portion () for resting the electronic card thereon, fixing portions () which are fastened to said printed circuit board, and latches () extending from said at least one supporting portion (), with a contact end portion of said card being received in said card edge connector, which latch an opposite end portion of said electronic card in a state where said card is substantially parallel to said printed circuit board. Said latch () comprising spring arms () which are approximately parallel to said printed circuit board.

Printed circuit board assembly

A card edge connector () comprises an insulative housing () defining a central slot () with a plurality of contacts () by two sides. Two arms () are positioned at two opposite ends of the insulative housing. Each arm includes a plastic portion () and a metal portion () attached to the plastic potion. The plastic portion includes a locking lug () and a restraint head (). The metal portion is retained to the housing and extends inwardly a guidance stud () and a stop tag () for covering the locking lug and the restraint head respectively, and the stop tag is as high as an upper end of the guidance stud. While a card module is inserted into the central slot in a correct position and rotated downwardly to directly engage and push the guidance studs, the metal portions together with the plastic portions can be deflected outwards so that the card module is secured held.
