Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a connector for connecting a circuit of a SIM (subscriber identification module) card to a circuit of a printed circuit board. In particular, an end portion of a terminal connected to a circuit of a SIM card is formed in a dome shape, and thus The present invention relates to a SIM card connector and a method of manufacturing the SIM card connected to a terminal in various directions without damaging the SIM card.

일반적으로 심(SIM;가입자정보모듈)카드란 전화번호부 등 다양한 가입자의 개인정보가 저장된 칩으로 이를 국제로밍용 CDMA(코드분할다중접속) 단말기에 연결하면 CDMA나 GSM(유럽식 이동통신방식)등과 같은 이동전화의 기술 규격에 관계없이 어느 지역에서나 자신의 전화번호로 자유롭게 이동전화를 사용할 수 있는 카드를 말한다. 이러한 심카드를 이용해 국제로밍 서비스를 받기 위해서는 단말기에 내장된 커넥터에 심카드를 직접 꽂아 연결해야 한다.In general, SIM (Subscriber Information Module) card is a chip that stores personal information of various subscribers such as phone book, and when connected to CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) terminal for international roaming, CDMA or GSM (European mobile communication method) Regardless of the technical specifications of the mobile phone, it refers to a card that allows the user to use the mobile phone freely in his / her phone number in any region. In order to use the SIM card for international roaming service, the SIM card must be directly plugged into the connector embedded in the terminal.

종래에 심카드를 접속하기 위한 심카드 커넥터가 도 6 내지 도 8에 도시되어 있다. 도시된 바와 같이 종래의 심카드 커넥터는, 심카드의 회로접점과 접촉되도록 상측에 ‘∩’형상인 접촉부(1a)를 갖고 하측에 인쇄회로기판에 용접되는접지부(1b)를 갖는 복수 개의 터미널(1)과, 이 터미널(1)들이 고정되는 하우징(2)으로 구성된다.Conventionally, a sim card connector for connecting a sim card is shown in FIGS. 6 to 8. As shown, a conventional sim card connector has a plurality of terminals having a contact portion 1a having a '∩' shape on the upper side and a ground portion 1b welded to a printed circuit board on the lower side so as to be in contact with the circuit contact of the sim card. (1) and a housing (2) to which these terminals (1) are fixed.

이 때, 복수 개의 터미널(1)은 하우징(2)으로의 자동공급을 위해 성형단계에서 하나의 연결패널(1c)과 일체로 형성된 상태이며, 이 연결패널(1c)은 도 8에 도시된 것처럼 터미널(1)을 하우징(2)에 완전 삽입하기 전 다이(Die Plate)와 펀치(Punch)에 의해 커팅되어 터미널(1)들과 분리된다. 각 터미널(1)들은 연결패널(1c)과 분리된 후 하우징(2) 내로 완전 삽입된다.At this time, the plurality of terminals (1) is formed integrally with one connection panel (1c) in the molding step for automatic supply to the housing (2), as shown in Figure 8 Before the terminal 1 is fully inserted into the housing 2, it is cut by a die plate and a punch and separated from the terminals 1. Each terminal 1 is separated from the connecting panel 1c and completely inserted into the housing 2.

그리고, 각 터미널(1)의 상측 단부에는 하우징(2)의 상측에 걸려 접촉부(1a)가 하우징(2)의 상방으로 너무 돌출되지 않도록 하는 걸림돌기(1d)가 양측으로 형성된다.Then, at the upper end of each terminal 1, engaging projections 1d are formed on both sides so as to be caught on the upper side of the housing 2 so that the contact portion 1a does not protrude too far above the housing 2.

그러나, 종래에 전술한 바와 같이 구성된 커넥터는, 심카드의 회로접점과 접촉되는 터미널의 접촉부가 ‘∩’형상으로 형성되므로, 심카드가 전후 방향 또는 상방향에서만 접촉 가능하며 측방향에서 접촉할 경우 터미널의 접촉부 및 심카드의 회로접점이 손상되는 문제점을 가진다.However, in the connector constructed as described above, since the contact portion of the terminal which is in contact with the circuit contact of the SIM card is formed in a '∩' shape, the SIM card can be contacted only in the front-back direction or the upper direction and the side contact is made. There is a problem that the contacts of the terminal and the circuit contacts of the sim card are damaged.

또한, 종래의 커넥터는, 터미널을 하우징에 고정하는 과정에서 터미널들을 서로 연결하는 연결패널을 다이와 펀치를 이용해 절단하게 되는바, 절단시의 충격에 의해 인쇄회로기판에 용접되는 접지부의 평탄도가 불량해지는 문제점도 가진다.In addition, the conventional connector is a connection panel for connecting the terminals to each other in the process of fixing the terminal to the housing using a die and a punch bar, the flatness of the ground portion welded to the printed circuit board due to the impact during cutting There is also a problem.

뿐만 아니라, 종래의 커넥터는, 터미널의 접촉부를 일정한 높이로 맞추기 위해 터미널의 상측 단부에 걸림돌기를 양쪽으로 형성해야 하기 때문에 터미널의 성형을 위한 금형비가 많이 소모되는 문제점도 가진다.In addition, the conventional connector has a problem in that the mold cost for forming the terminal is consumed because the locking projections must be formed on both sides of the terminal in order to fit the contact portion of the terminal to a constant height.

본 발명은 전술한 바와 같은 종래의 제반 문제점을 해소하기 위하여 안출된 것으로, 터미널 및 심 카드의 손상없이 여러 방향 즉, 측방향, 상방향 및 전후방향에서 심 카드를 터미널에 접속할 수 있는 심카드 커넥터를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.The present invention has been made to solve the conventional problems as described above, SIM card connector that can connect the SIM card to the terminal in various directions, that is, the lateral, up and front direction without damaging the terminal and the SIM card The purpose is to provide.

그리고, 본 발명은 심카드의 회로와 접속되는 터미널의 단부에 별도의 돌기를 형성하지 않고도 터미널 단부를 일정 높이로 맞출 수 있는 심카드 커넥터를 제공하는 목적도 있다.In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a sim card connector that can be aligned with a terminal end at a predetermined height without forming a separate protrusion at the end of the terminal connected to the circuit of the sim card.
