Figure 4 is a schematic illustration of the electronic card of the electronic card connector assembly of the present invention rotated relative to the connector.

Referring to Figure 1, there is shown an electronic card connector assembly of the present invention. The electronic card connector assembly of the present invention includes an electronic card 10 and a connector 20, the construction of which is described below.

The electronic card 10 includes a body 12, a shaft portion 14, and a plurality of first terminals. The portion of the body 12 that is coupled to the connector 20 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape and has a front end 122. The shaft portion 14 has a cylindrical shape and is disposed at the front end 122 of the body 12. The first terminal is disposed at the bottom of the body 12. The length of the shaft portion 14 is greater than the width of the front end 122 of the body 12.

The connector 20 includes a housing 22, a circuit board 24, and a plurality of second terminals 26. The housing 22 is made of metal and mounted on the circuit board 24, and a housing 22 and the circuit board 24 are formed. The second terminal 26 is disposed on the corresponding portion of the circuit board 24 and the first terminal. The housing 22 has an opening 222 for the electronic card 10 to be placed in the accommodating space. The circuit board 24 has a notch 242. The notch 242 is adjacent to the opening 222 of the housing 22 and adjacent to the accommodating space.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the body 12 of the electronic card 10 is disposed in the accommodating space between the housing 22 and the circuit board 24, and is movable on the circuit board 24 in the accommodating space due to the housing 22. The distance between the opposite sides 225, 226 is substantially equal to the length of the shaft portion 14 of the electronic card 10, such that the shaft portion 14 is constrained by the opposite edges 225, 226 of the housing 22 to cause the body 12 of the electronic card 10 Moves along a first direction L. A stop portion 224 is respectively disposed adjacent to the edges 225, 226 on both sides of the opening 222 of the housing 22. When the electronic card 10 is to be withdrawn from the connector 20 and the shaft portion 14 abuts against the stop portion 224, the limit can be restricted. The movement of the body 12 in the first direction L causes the electronic card 10 to not completely disengage from the connector 20, as shown in FIG. In addition, a step portion 124 is disposed at the bottom of the body 12. When the electronic card 10 is pushed into the accommodating space, when the step portion 124 of the body 12 abuts against the edge of the notch 242 of the circuit board 24, the electronic device can also be restricted. The movement of the card 10 in the first direction L is as shown in FIG.

In addition, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, since the width of the notch 242 of the circuit board 24 is smaller than the length of the shaft portion 14 and larger than the width of the body 12, when the body 12 is withdrawn from the opening 222 of the housing 22 to the shaft portion 14 When the width of the body 12 is smaller than the width of the notch 242, the body 12 can be rotated downward through the notch 242 and rotated relative to the circuit board 24 by the shaft portion 14 as a rotating shaft, as shown in FIG. Shown.

With the structure of the electronic card connector assembly of the present invention, the electronic card 10 does not completely detach from the connector 20 when not in use, and can be rotated relative to the connector 20 to the other direction to prevent the electronic card 10 from excessively protruding. It takes up extra space in the electronic device.

The present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, but it is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains may be modified and retouched without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
