Abstract
Abstract A memory card connector for connection with a first PCB (printed circuit board) and a second PCB provided on the first PCB is disclosed, which comprises an insulating housing including a contact receiving section defining a rear insertion space, and a plurality of conductive contacts received in the contact receiving section, each of the conductive contacts including a front soldering section bending away from the first PCB for soldering onto the second PCB. The memory card connector is provided a grounding plate for shielding and grounding, and ejector mechanism for ejecting a memory card received in the memory card connector. An arrangement of a memory card connector, a mother board and a daughter is disclosed. In addition, a memory card connector assembly including more than one memory card connectors is disclosed as well.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
An arrangement of a memory card connector, a first PCB, and a second PCB substantially vertically provided on said first PCB, wherein said memory card connector has a planar bottom surface substantially lying against the first PCB and comprises: an insulating housing including a contact receiving section defining a rear insertion space and a front soldering space; a plurality of conductive contacts received in said contact receiving section, each conductive contact having a soldering section exposed to the front soldering space and upwardly bent with respect to the contact receiving section of the insulating housing for being inserted vertically to the second PCB; and a grounding plate including a plurality of soldering legs provided on a first end thereof, each of said soldering legs bending away from said first PCB for soldering vertically onto said second PCB.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
137 words
An arrangement of a memory card connector, a first PCB, and a second PCB substantially vertically provided on said first PCB, wherein said memory card connector has a planar bottom surface substantially lying against the first PCB and comprises: an insulating housing including a contact receiving section defining a rear insertion space and a front soldering space; a plurality of conductive contacts received in said contact receiving section, each conductive contact having a soldering section exposed to the front soldering space and upwardly bent with respect to the contact receiving section of the insulating housing for being inserted vertically to the second PCB; and a grounding plate including a plurality of soldering legs provided on a first end thereof, each of said soldering legs bending away from said first PCB for soldering vertically onto said second PCB.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
The arrangement of a memory card connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein said soldering legs first bend away from said first PCB at a right angle and then bend horizontally to solder onto said second PCB.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The arrangement of a memory card connector as claimed in claim 2, wherein said insulating housing directly abuts at a bottom surface thereof to the first PCB without any standoff means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
93 words
An electrical connector assembly comprising: a memory card connector mounted on a mother board; a card edge connector spaced from the memory card connector and mounted on the same mother board; a daughter board received within said card edge connector and perpendicular to said mother board; said memory card connector including an insulative housing enclosing a plurality conductive contacts therein, each of said contacts including a soldering section solderably extending through said daughter board, wherein the soldering section bends away from the mother board, thereby requiring no standoffs of the memory card connector.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
93 words
An electrical connector assembly comprising: a memory card connector mounted on a mother board; a card edge connector spaced from the memory card connector and mounted on the same mother board; a daughter board received within said card edge connector and perpendicular to said mother board; said memory card connector including an insulative housing enclosing a plurality conductive contacts therein, each of said contacts including a soldering section solderably extending through said daughter board, wherein the soldering section bends away from the mother board, thereby requiring no standoffs of the memory card connector.
