Description

  The present invention relates to an IC card connector including a two-point contact type contact terminal.

  In electronic devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, and cameras, an IC card such as an SD (secure digital) card that incorporates a central processing unit (CPU) or memory IC is connected to the device via an IC card connector. Various functions are extended in each device by mounting.

  Such an IC card connector has a plurality of contact terminals that are electrically connected to the contact pads of the IC card and selectively accommodates the IC card as disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1. A member is provided.

  In addition, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, in the case of contact terminals, when an impact force is applied to an IC card connector equipped due to dropping of an electronic device or the like, in order to prevent instantaneous interruption of the contact pad of the IC card. A so-called two-point contact type contact terminal has been proposed in which two contact portions are brought into contact with one contact pad. Such a two-point contact type contact terminal is fixed by soldering to a movable piece portion having a contact portion at the tip of a bifurcated portion and an electrode portion of a wiring board on which an IC card connector is arranged. It is comprised from the fixed terminal part and the fixed part which connects the end of a movable piece part, and the end of a fixed terminal part. The two-point contact type contact terminal is fixed to the housing member by, for example, pressing and fixing the fixing portion from one direction into a groove formed in the housing member.

  Furthermore, in an IC card connector in which two types of IC cards having different pitches and arrangement positions of contact pads of the IC card are selectively mounted, the soldering operation at the fixed terminal portion of the contact terminal is facilitated. For example, as shown in Patent Document 2, the contact terminals electrically connected to the contact pads of each IC card are fixed to the housing member so that their contact portions face each other. Things have been proposed.

Japanese Patent No. 3507434 JP 2001-313128 A

  In recent years, as IC cards are further miniaturized, the size of the contact pads of the IC cards as described above tends to become narrower and the pitch tends to become finer. Thereby, when producing a connector for an IC card of a smaller size corresponding to the demand for miniaturization of the IC card, when the contact point of the two-point contact type is arranged in the housing part for the above-mentioned instantaneous interruption measure, It is difficult to arrange the fixed portions of the contact terminals in a row in the width direction so as to be arranged in parallel with each other because the width of the fixed portions is larger than the width of the contact portions. Therefore, in the fixing method in which each fixing portion of each contact terminal is press-fitted into the groove of the housing portion from the same direction, there is a possibility that the IC card connector is increased in size contrary to the demand for downsizing the IC card.

  In view of the above problems, the present invention is a connector for an IC card provided with a two-point contact type contact terminal, so-called a two-point contact type contact terminal even when the IC card is miniaturized. It is an object of the present invention to provide an IC card connector that can be easily disposed in a housing portion.

    In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, an IC card connector according to the present invention is provided with a base member having a card housing portion into which an IC card having a plurality of electrode portions is selectively mounted, and the base member. A first contact terminal having a contact part that is in contact with and electrically connected to one electrode part of the integrated IC card and a fixing part fixed to the base member; and a base member adjacent to the first contact terminal. Fixed to the branch and base member having a plurality of contact portions located at the tip of the bifurcated branch portion that contacts and is electrically connected to another common electrode portion of the mounted IC card A second contact terminal having a fixed portion, wherein the plurality of contact portions of the second contact terminal are adjacent to the contact portion of the first contact terminal. Mounting position for over scan member, characterized in that it is a position facing to the mounting position relative to the base member of the fixed portion of the first contact terminal.

  As is apparent from the above description, according to the IC card connector of the present invention, the second contact terminal is arranged such that the plurality of contact portions of the second contact terminal are adjacent to the contact portion of the first contact terminal. Even if the IC card is miniaturized, the so-called two-point contact is provided because the mounting position of the fixed portion of the first contact terminal is opposite the mounting position of the first contact terminal fixed portion to the base member. The type of contact terminal can be easily arranged in the housing part.
