Description

一种卡连接器的导引装置A guiding device for a card connector

技术领域:Technical field:

本实用新型涉及连接器技术领域,更具体地说涉及一种卡连接器的导引装置。The utility model relates to the technical field of connectors, in particular to a guiding device for a card connector.

背景技术:Background technique:

传统记忆卡与连接器的定位结构,是将连接器壳体固定在电路板上,再以记忆卡插接在连接器内,达到记忆卡与连接器呈电性连接的目的,且因为各种记忆卡的型式不同,其外观尺寸及型状也有差异,不同型式的记忆卡必须插接在与其型式相符合的特定型式连接器,方能使连接器读取记忆卡中的记忆资料,如此,在使用时亦受到连接器格式的限制,而无法抽换使用不同的记忆卡,故必须在电路板上设置多种不同型式的连接器,使得电路板的面积增大,占用的空间也相对增大。The positioning structure of the traditional memory card and connector is to fix the connector housing on the circuit board, and then insert the memory card into the connector to achieve the purpose of electrical connection between the memory card and the connector. Different types of memory cards have different appearances, sizes and shapes. Different types of memory cards must be plugged into a specific type of connector that matches the type, so that the connector can read the memory data in the memory card. In this way, It is also limited by the format of the connector when used, and it is impossible to replace and use different memory cards. Therefore, a variety of different types of connectors must be installed on the circuit board, which increases the area of the circuit board and relatively increases the space occupied. big.

于是人们研究开发设计出一种可提供多种不同规格记忆卡插接的连接器,而此种可供多种记忆卡插接的连接器其内部的端子设置大多采用前、后排列设置的方式,并配合绝缘座体设置有不同形式的插槽,以供各类的记忆卡以正向推入的方式插入绝缘座体内使用,然而,此种设计虽可解决单一连接器只能使用一种记忆卡的缺陷,但因此多卡连接器所使用的记忆卡种类繁多,其各类记忆卡的形式或大小皆不相同,使得绝缘座体须设置配合各种记忆卡的插槽,如此将导致绝缘座体整体的厚度大幅增加,而其所占用的空间亦增加。Therefore, people have researched and developed a connector that can provide a variety of memory cards with different specifications, and the internal terminals of this connector that can be inserted into a variety of memory cards are mostly arranged in a front-back arrangement. , and cooperate with the insulating base body to be provided with different types of slots, so that various types of memory cards can be inserted into the insulating base body in a positive push-in manner. However, although this design can solve the problem that a single connector can only use one However, there are many types of memory cards used in the multi-card connector, and the types and sizes of the various memory cards are not the same, so that the insulating base must be provided with slots for various memory cards, which will lead to The overall thickness of the insulating base body is greatly increased, and the space occupied by it is also increased.

因此,又有人设计出另一种可提供多种不同规格记忆卡接接的连接器,而此种可供多种记忆卡插接的连接器其内部的端子设置大多采用上、下交错叠置的方式来与特定的记忆卡呈电性连接,进而使不同记忆卡于推入连接器内时产生有正向推入或反向推入两种推入形式,此种设计虽可解决单一连接器只能使用一种记忆卡的缺陷,但因多卡连接器所使用的记忆卡种类繁多,其各类记忆卡推入方向有正向推入还有反向推入,若使用者不慎将其中的记忆卡插反,容易造成绝缘座体内所设置的导电端子弯曲、变形或断裂而无法使用,进而导致记忆卡无法拨出而卡死在连接器内,且绝缘座体内部并无设置任何导引装置,不仅记忆卡插入时不易对位,且在插入定位后更因无任何抵靠使得记忆卡晃动,甚至因晃动不稳使得记忆卡脱离而导致更加严重的后果。Therefore, someone has designed another connector that can provide a variety of memory cards with different specifications, and the internal terminal settings of this connector that can be inserted into a variety of memory cards are mostly staggered up and down. It is electrically connected with a specific memory card in a specific way, so that when different memory cards are pushed into the connector, there are two types of push-in or reverse-push. Although this design can solve a single connection The connector can only use one kind of memory card, but because there are many types of memory cards used in the multi-card connector, the pushing direction of the various memory cards can be forward or reverse. If the user is not careful If the memory card is inserted upside down, it is easy to cause the conductive terminals set in the insulating base to bend, deform or break and become unusable, and then the memory card cannot be pulled out and is stuck in the connector, and there is no device inside the insulating base. Any guiding device not only makes it difficult to align the memory card when it is inserted, but also causes the memory card to shake due to no contact after insertion and positioning, and even causes the memory card to fall off due to unstable shaking, resulting in more serious consequences.
