The present invention uses a memory card connector indicated by 20 as an example. The memory card The connector 20 includes an insulating housing denoted by 22, and the housing 22 has a transverse section 24 for mounting a plurality of conductive terminals 26 behind the connector. The casing can be molded from an insulating plastic material, and the lateral section 24 of the casing has an elongated insertion hole 28 facing 200539509 forward, and a pair of c-shaped mounting grooves 30 at opposite ends of the insertion hole. A pair of mounting brackets 32 protrude forward from the housing, and are at opposite ends of the insertion hole 28 and in the c-shaped mounting groove. As described in detail below, a pair of support arms indicated by 34 protrude forward from the housing and are adjacent to the [5-shaped mounting grooves 30 and the mounting brackets 32]. Before continuing to elaborate on the support arm 34, please refer to FIG. 6 in which it can be seen that the terminals 26 are installed in pairs and the pair of terminal systems are longitudinally separated along the jack 28 of the housing a, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 shows. These terminals have a contact portion 26a and a solder tail portion 26b to solder the appropriate electrical 10-way wiring on a printed circuit board. A mouth 36 is formed between the contact portions 26a, as shown in FIG. A memory card 38 has a front end 38a, and the contact portions 26a of the terminals are arranged in the socket 28, so that the memory card 38 can be inserted into the mouth portion 36 with substantially no insertion force. In other words, it can be seen here that the exit portion 36 is wider than the thickness of the memory card. The memory card is inserted obliquely toward the arrow "B" until the front end of the card 15 ^ If the bottom of the card contacts the bottom, this is the insertion position of the memory card. Then the card is pivoted to the one-end position with the front end 38a as the center in the direction of arrow "C". At this time, the contact portion 26a of the terminal 26 is combined with the connector on the top and bottom sides of the memory card. Please refer to FIGS. 3-5 again. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, each of the supporting 20 arms 34 is an elastic locking portion including a supporting portion indicated by 40 and an elastic locking portion 42 Two-piece structure. The support part is a large rigid part, and the elastic part is a substantially flexible part. In addition, the elastic locking portion is combined with the supporting portion in a manner described later. The supporting portion 40 of each mounting slot 30 includes a C-shaped mounting portion 44, and the 200539509 C-shaped female garment portion 44 has a plurality of through holes 46 in the C-shaped corner. The majority of the teeth 47 are formed at the rearward inner proximal end adjacent to the support portion, and a solder sheet is large and shifted downward from each support portion 40. A through hole 50 is formed on the base 52 of the money holding part, and the small elastic arm 54 is formed by the base 52 toward the base ^ and has a distal end protruding upward. Finally, a locking portion in the shape of a locking piece 56 protrudes upwards from the front or the outer distal end of each supporting portion of each supporting arm 34. And the elastic locking portion 42 of each support arm 34 has a pair of coupling wings 58 protruding from the top and bottom edges thereof, and the locking protrusion 60 projects from the bottom edge of the elastic portion toward the front of the coupling wings 58 . An elastic arm loop has a circular inwardly protruding locking piece 64 near the distal end of the elastic arm, and a main locking portion 66 at the upper edge of the elastic arm. The main locking portion has a chamfered or curved top surface and a broken bottom surface, the bottom surface being a "break" in which the surface extends substantially horizontally or straight through the opposite branch. 15 The miscellaneous lock portion 42 is formed by inserting the rear end of the elastic lock portion into the C-shaped mounting portion 44 of each support arm until the elastic lock portion is inserted into the through hole 46 of the support portion. Combined to each supporting core, the locking protrusion 60 of the elastic locking portion 42 is combined with the pair of through holes of the supporting portion. Figures * and 5 show the combined state of these support arms. Then, the combined support arms are incorrectly inserted by the rear end of the C-shaped mounting portion 44 of the support portion 40 and the elastic locking portion 42. The C-shaped mounting groove of the casing is mounted on the casing 22. When the material support shoots and cuts the shirt rack & straight up, please invite it to return to the case to prevent the material cutting arm from pulling out of the installation slots. 10 200539509 As described in the description of FIG. 6, the memory card 38 is inserted into the socket 28 of the housing 22 in the direction of the arrow “B” and is inserted into the mouth 36 between the contact portions 26a of the terminal 26 . This is the zero-force insertion position of the memory card, and then, • The card pivots downwards toward the arrow “C” with its front end 38a as the center until 5 the bottom side of the memory card and the support portion of the support arm 34 The base 52 of 40 is combined (figure 3). This defines the termination position of the memory card. At this time, the contact portion 26a of the terminal% is terminated with a connector on the opposite side of the memory card. 1 10 15 20 ¥ When the memory card is turned downward from its insertion position to its termination position, the main locking parts of the elastic locking parts 42 of the support arms are combined on the bottom surface of the side of the memory card The chamfering or curved top surface of 66 is continued until the bottom breaking surface 66a of the main lock 4 adjacent to the 66 is separated from the top surface of the memory card. Then, the bombs 1 * I 62 were rebated inward, and the bottom cut-off surfaces 66 & prevented the card from rising from the support portion 40 of the support f. Lai f62 uses the lock as a fulcrum from now on as 60: heart * curved, and at the termination position of the memory card, the card is lost in the area of the incision arms to do silk M and the main lung f Bottom break between noodles. The small elastic arm 54 that is avoided at the support portion eliminates slack or loosening in the memory card. When the memory card is pivoted to its termination position as described above, the slot or recess at the opposite side of the memory card is locked away from the shaft. _ One also incorporates a memory back: the base 52 of the support part 40 is combined with the main lock and part 11 of the elastic lock part 42 holding a I 200539509 66 is combined with the top surface of the memory card; and the locking piece 56 Prevent the restricted memory card from being pulled out of the connector. It can be understood here that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit and central characteristics.
