Switch contact 400 shown in Figure 10 forms by the electroconductive component that adds section chief's size, here forms for the processing metal plate.Switch contact 400 has: comprise the main body arm 410 that is elongated plate-like that limits arm 380,480; Be provided with and be pressed into the portion that is pressed into 420 that is fixed on the side wall portion 314 with on this main body arm 410, extending with the bearing of trend quadrature of main body arm 410.
In detail, being pressed into portion 420 has: the base end side on the end of the base end side that is formed at the position that becomes restriction arm 380 on the main body arm 410 is pressed into portion 422; The central authorities that are formed on the position (being the substantial middle part of main body arm here) between the restriction arm 380,480 are pressed into portion 424; And the front that is formed on the end of front of restriction arm 480 is pressed into portion 426.
These base end sides are pressed into portion 422, central authorities and are pressed into portion 424 and front and are pressed into portion 426 and extend in parallel to each other from main body arm 410, and form respectively and have tabular with the width of the bearing of trend equidirectional of main body arm 410.Be pressed into portion 422 at these base end sides, central authorities are pressed into portion 424 and front is pressed in the portion 426, from separate at Width and from the outstanding rib 428 that is pressed into usefulness that is provided with of the dual-side of main body arm 410 quadratures.
In addition, central authorities are pressed into portion 424 and extend to such an extent that be pressed into portion 422 and front than base end side to be pressed into portion 426 also long.The leading section 424a that these central authorities are pressed into portion 424 is by being pressed in the intercommunicating pore that is communicated with up and down that is fixed on the median wall part 314b that is formed at side wall portion 314, and outstanding downwards from the bottom surface of connector 300.And the leading section 424a that central authorities are pressed into portion 424 works as reed (the リ one De) portion that card detects usefulness, and is connected with distribution that the card of the circuit board of mounted connector 300 detects usefulness.
In main body arm 410, by be pressed into portion's 422 extended connecting portions 432 along base end side, separate predetermined distance with restriction arm 380 and relatively dispose the first terminal portion 360 from one distolateral (base end side).
Equally, in main body arm 410,, be adjacent to extended connecting portion 434, separate predetermined distance with restriction arm 480 and relatively dispose the first terminal portion 460 by being pressed into portion 424 with these central authorities being pressed into portion 424 than central authorities by another distolateral (front).
These the first terminals 360,460 extend as the main body arm 410 almost parallel ground of switch contact 400 with conduct restriction arm 480 under the state that is not pushed by second portion of terminal 370,470.
Like this switch contact 400 of Xing Chenging by base end side is pressed into portion 422, central authorities are pressed into portion 424 and front is pressed into wall part 314a, 314b, the 314c that portion 426 is pressed into side wall portion 314 respectively, thereby be fixed on the housing 310.
Thus, in side wall portion 314, restriction arm 380,480 side wall portion 314 with leading section (rear end of connector body is from portion) side and the other end (leading section of connector body) side respectively with the height and position of regulation through notch 317,317a in and fix, here be horizontal fixed.
In addition, the first terminal 360,460 is under switch contact 400 the state on the side wall portion 314 of being fixed on is promptly packed the state of housing 310 into, by second terminal 370,470 that is installed on the housing 310, be configured with the state that presses against respectively on the restriction arm 380,480.
Figure 11 is the vertical view of position relation of the relative the first terminal of second terminal of the card test section of this connector of expression.And, in Figure 11, represent the position relation of the first terminal 360 on the first switch 350A and second terminal 370, the direction of insertion of storage card 200 is represented simply as direction of insertion A.In addition, the position of the first terminal 460 of the second terminal 350B and second terminal 470 relation is identical with the first switch 350A, so omit explanation.
As shown in Figure 7, second terminal 370 is at side wall portion 314, and bottom surface side is outstanding upward internally in housing 310, and is configured on the extended line of the rail portion 314d that the groove of the lateral edge portion bottom of the storage card 200 that inserts along being formed at slides.
And as shown in figure 11, second terminal 370 is configured in the vertical below of the first terminal 360 with these the first terminal 360 overlapping areas with than in the scope of the first terminal 360 by the card housing region of connector 300 inboards.
Specifically, second terminal 370 has contact chip portion 372 and the terminal bodies 374 from the end face 314e of the rail portion 314d that evens up with the end face of the wall part 314a of the insertion oral-lateral of dividing notch 317 along the extended long size of direction of insertion.Contact chip portion 372 is from terminal bodies 374 branches and along the bearing of trend setting of terminal bodies 374.
With regard to second terminal 370, terminal bodies 374 has to arrive from cardinal extremity and is pressed into the length of side of central portion that central authorities are pressed into the side wall portion 314 of portion, and with its leading section as free end.This second terminal 370 is by the strain of self, so that the relative the first terminal of leading section is to connecting with the direction of separating, being that the mode of above-below direction displacement is swung freely and disposed.
Here, terminal bodies 374 has: the movable board 373 that extends from end face 314e: and from the front end of movable board 373 to the i.e. bending part 375 in the outstanding insertion zone that forms and be configured in the storage card that is inserted into connector 300, top of the first terminal 360 1 sides.Bending part 375 constitutes to have from the front end of movable board 373 continuously and from disposing the inclined plane that tilts towards the top of this movable board 373 and the inclined plane that bending forms below this inclined plane.
In addition, this bending part 375 is owing to be configured in the insertion zone of storage card, and therefore following (bottom surface of slot part) by the storage card that is inserted promptly pushes the below to the direction of separating with the first terminal 360.Bending part 375 makes terminal bodies 374 self to the direction of separating with the first terminal 360 thus, here moves for the shifting ground, below.
The bearing of trend of contact chip portion 372 from the side portion of the first terminal 360 sides (here being the right side as the first terminal 360 sides) of the movable board 373 of terminal bodies 374 along terminal bodies 374 extends, and forms to the first terminal 360 1 sides (top) bending ground.
The state butt that contact chip portion 372 will push below the first terminal 360 and below will being somebody's turn to do upward.As shown in figure 11, contact chip portion 372 with leading section 372a as the contact site that contacts with the first terminal 360, this leading section 372a forms on the whole width of the first terminal 360 contiguously to the direction bending of intersecting with the main body 372b of sheet portion that extends along terminal bodies 374.
Here, terminal bodies 374 and the main body 372b of sheet portion at laterally (left and right directions of connector 300) to be separated from each other and relative mode disposes.In other words, the main body 372b of sheet portion and the side portion of this terminal bodies 374 between form space G mode be installed on the terminal bodies 374.
As shown in Figures 7 and 8, contact chip portion 372 (being leading section 372a in detail) is relative with the first terminal 360, and can move on the direction identical with the distortion moving direction of this first terminal 360.
Specifically, but contact chip portion 372 above-below direction under the first terminal 360 moves configuration freely, and is configured to by the strain of terminal bodies 374 the first terminal 360 can moved freely downwards under the state that 380 1 thrusters of restriction arm are pressed.And the pushing force of 370 pairs of the first terminals 360 of second terminal is bigger than the recuperability of the first terminal 360.
Second terminal 360 of configuration is shaped by inserting like this, and the state that tilts upward with the inboard to connector 300 is packed in the housing 310 of this connector 300.
When the mould of shaping housing 310 is packed into, with regard to second terminal 360, the state configuration that terminal bodies 374 tilts upward with the horizontality of extending from guide rail end surface 314d relatively.Thus, bending part 375 and contact chip portion 372 are positioned to the position from a side (upper side) displacement of formed the separation in the bottom surface of housing 310.Especially, the allocation position of the contact chip portion 372 when insert being shaped becomes the position above also leaning on than state position shown in Figure 7 on the card detecting switch that the switch contact 400 of packing into forms.
After inserting shaping, by being pressed into switch contact 400 is being installed on by the housing 310 that is being provided with second terminal 370 (470) under the above-mentioned state, thereby contact chip portion 372 is pushed and displacement downwards by the first terminal 360, this the first terminal 360 is by restriction arm 380 restriction moving upward, and second terminal 370 self is also pushed downwards and is configured in position after the displacement.
The card detecting switch 350 of Gou Chenging does not insert under the normal condition of connector 300 at storage card like this, becomes as Fig. 7~state shown in Figure 9.That is, with regard to card detecting switch 350, at side wall portion 314, the second terminals 370 and the first terminal 360 butts, and second terminal 470 and the first terminal 460 butts, thereby be kept closed respectively.
In other words, in the connector 300 of the switch contact 400 that comprises the first terminal 360,460 and second terminal 370,470 of having packed into, generally, the position of the free end side of contact chip portion 372,472 each self-corresponding the first terminal 360,460 of pushing of second terminal 370,470.Thus, the second switch 350B that comprises the first switch 350A of the first terminal 360,460 and comprise second terminal 370,470 becomes the state that terminal is electrically connected each other on each switch.
In card detecting switch 350, by storage card 200 is inserted into connector 300 to the A direction, switch becomes disconnection, thereby detects the insertion of card release.
At this, the action of the card detecting switch 350 of connector 300 is described.
Figure 12 is illustrated in the connector that relates to embodiments of the present invention 2, and the insertion by storage card 200 will make switch become the major part cutaway view of structure of the first switch 350A of the card test section before disconnecting.And Figure 13 is the enlarged drawing of major part structure of the first switch 350A of expression state shown in Figure 12.And Figure 12 is along the sectional view of the side wall portion 314 of the medial surface of rail portion 314e part in connector 300.Figure 14 is the figure of the major part structure left from the first terminal 360 of expression second terminal 370.
At first, in the connector 300 of the state of Fig. 7~shown in Figure 9, insert storage card 200.If storage card 200 is inserted into connector 300 from inserting mouthful 301 (with reference to Fig. 7) to the A direction, the sidepiece 203 of the storage card 200 that is then inserted moves in rail portion 314a upper edge direction of insertion, and moves into above the movable board 373 that exposes above in second terminal 370.
Thus, in second terminal 370, by the storage card 200 that the is inserted leading section 201 of (here representing) (being the corner part of front end face in detail) with following 201 of storage card at bending part 374 to being pressed into direction pushing from movable board 373 bending and the sloping portion 375a that erects upward.
So in second terminal 370, bending part 375 is stored the card pushing along direction of insertion, and moves downwards.Thereupon, movable board 375 (direction of leaving from the first terminal 360) displacement downwards.
As Figure 12 and shown in Figure 13, be accompanied by the displacement downwards of movable board 375, contact chip portion 372 moves downwards.By moving of this contact chip portion 372, the first terminal 360 that is urged restriction arm 380 1 sides up is spaced apart from the protuberance 382 of restriction arm 380.
If storage card 200 further is inserted in the connector 300, then in second terminal 370, bending part 375 further is urged and displacement downwards to direction of insertion.
Thus, movable board 373 also moves downwards, and contact chip portion 372 (direction of leaving with the first terminal 360) also downwards moves.
Here, when the first terminal 360 left, the first terminal 360 was the center swing with the base end part side in contact chip portion 372, and contact chip portion 372 is the swing at center and moving downwards by the base end part side with movable board 375 also.Thus, contact chip portion 372 moves relative to the first terminal 360 slips and to the direction of leaving.
So as shown in figure 14, contact chip portion 372 is left from the first terminal 360, remove pushing state to this first terminal 360.Thus, in card detecting switch 350, the contact condition of the first terminal 360 and second terminal 370 is that connection status is disengaged.
Like this, be inserted into connector 300 at storage card 200, and contact chip portion 372 relative the first terminals 360 leave fully during, the connection status of second terminal, 370 relative the first terminals 360 is disengaged.That is, the switch of the first terminal 360 and second terminal 370 becomes off-state, and card detecting switch 350 detects card release and inserts state.
If the storage card 200 that will make the first switch 350A be in off-state further is inserted in the connector 300, then move to the part that has disposed second switch 350B like this at side wall portion 314.
And, if insert storage card 200, then second terminal 470 is also same with second terminal 370, by the front end corner part 201 of the storage card 200 that is inserted (storage card 200 shown in Figure 12) bending part 475 and in the direction of insertion pushing from movable board 473 bending and the sloping portion 475a that erects upward.
So in second terminal 470, bending part 475 is stored card in direction of insertion and pushes, and move downwards, displacement takes place in movable board 473 (direction of leaving from the first terminal 460) also downwards.
Figure 15 is illustrated in the connector that relates to embodiments of the present invention 2, and the insertion by storage card 200 makes second switch will become the figure of the major part structure of the card test section before disconnecting.As shown in figure 15, be accompanied by the displacement downwards of movable board 473, contact chip portion 42 moves downwards.By moving of this contact chip portion 472, left by the protuberance 482 of the first terminal 460 of these contact chip portion 472 pushings from restriction arm 480.
If storage card inserts until the inboard of connector 300, then in second terminal 470, bending part 475 further is urged and displacement downwards to direction of insertion.
Thus, movable board 473 also moves downwards, contact chip portion 472 also relatively the first terminal 460 slips the time further downwards (direction of leaving with the first terminal 360) move.Figure 16 represents this state.
