Electrical connector

The present invention relates to an electrical connector, and more particularly to an electrical connector that can electrically connect two types of electronic cards and has a tray.

Generally, portable electronic devices generally need to meet the needs of light and thin to facilitate carrying. Therefore, the components of the electronic device need to be developed toward miniaturization and integration. The size of the electrical connector for electrically connecting the electronic card is also miniaturized in accordance with the volume reduction of the electronic card, and since the electronic card has various specifications, the composite electrical connector for inserting two or more electronic cards is also It came into being. For example, Taiwan Patent No. M312830 discloses a drawer type two-in-one memory card connector, which is an electrical connector that can be selectively connected to a MINI SD card or a MICRO SD card, which carries a MINI SD card by a positioning frame or MICRO SD card.

The positioning frame is recessed with a first positioning area for embedding a MINI SD card, and a second positioning area for embedding a MICRO SD card. Since the first positioning area is recessed from the second positioning area, when the MINI SD card is embedded in the first positioning area, only a part of the edge of the MINI SD card is exposed in the second positioning area, which is relatively easy to be taken out. Furthermore, the first positioning area and the second positioning area are surrounded by a closed wall, and the wall on the front side of the positioning frame is first inserted into the edge of the slot. It is easy to hit the terminal during the plugging process and there is a risk of damaging the terminal.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an electrical connector having a tray for easy access to an electronic card that does not damage the terminals.

Therefore, the new type of electrical connector is used for electrically connecting a first electronic card or a second electronic card. One side of the second electronic card is formed with a convex portion, and the electrical connector comprises an insulating shell and a The insulating shell collectively defines a shielding shell for accommodating a space, a plurality of terminals disposed on the insulating shell, and a tray. The tray is configured to mount the first electronic card or the second electronic card is inserted into the accommodating space, and has a first plate surface, a second plate surface, an insertion side and a side opposite to the insertion side. Operation side. The first plate surface defines a first recess, a second recess and a third recess that are recessed toward the second plate surface. The first recess is configured to receive the first electronic card, and the second recess and the third recess share the second electronic card. The position of the second recess portion partially overlaps the position of the first recess portion, and the second recess portion is recessed toward the second board surface direction than the first recess portion, and the third recess portion is located in the region of the second recess portion and The second recess is recessed toward the second plate surface to accommodate the boss. The insertion side forms an opening recessed by the first plate surface and communicating with the second recess.

The electrical connector of the present invention, wherein the shape of the first recess is matched with the first electronic card, the shape of the second recess is matched with the second electronic card, and the shape of the third recess is The bosses cooperate.

In the electrical connector of the present invention, the first recess is located at a position opposite to the operating side, and the second recess is biased against the insertion side.

The electrical connector of the present invention, wherein the tray further has a pair of protrusions adjacent to the insertion side to define two corners of the second recess and two sides of the opening.

The electrical connector of the present invention, wherein the third recess of the tray extends through the second plate surface.

In the electrical connector of the present invention, the first electronic card is a micro-SIM card, and the second electronic card is a micro-SD card, wherein the first recess of the tray cooperates to receive a micro-SIM card, and the second The recess and the third recess cooperate to accommodate the micro-SD card.

The utility model has the effect that the tray can be loaded with the first electronic card or the second electronic card on the first board surface, and can be conveniently taken and placed. Furthermore, the insertion side of the tray forms an opening communicating with the second recess, so that the tray can be prevented from colliding with the terminal when entering and leaving the accommodating space to avoid damage to the terminal.
