Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0729206A2] An input/output electrical connector (18) is compatible with the PCMCIA Open System Standard. A PCMCIA card assembly uses the connector. This connector (18) is a card I/O connector or header that is mounted on the edge of a PC card. The connector includes a plurality of terminals (60) insert molded in a housing (20). The housing includes a keyed spline (38) and an oppositely facing contact surface (50) with the tops of a row of terminals (60) exposed. The spline is molded by a mold slide that is retracted parallel to the tongue and groove keys and to the terminals (60). Molded ribs (54) are formed in front of the terminals to prevent stubbing during mating. A clam shell shield (80) surrounds the housing and a frame section (100) on the front of the shield defines the peripheral mating interface on the card I/O connector. The shield also includes mounting tabs (82) for securing the shield (80) and the connector (18) to a PC card without the use of separate rivets or fasteners. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
