Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1152493A2] Disclosed is an improved card connector (2) for receiving at least one PC card (1). The card connector includes a card connector section (3) and a substrate connector section (4) wherein the card connector section (3) includes an insulating housing (5) having a lateral array (7) of pin terminals (6) to mate with corresponding receptacles of the card and grounding terminals (9) to contact the outer casing of the card. The insulating housing further includes a rearwardly extending alignment extension (28) having a leg portion (29) extending downwardly therefrom. The pin terminals include connections tails (8) arranged in a single row along the leg portion (29) of the alignment section (28). The substrate connector section (4) includes signal terminals (22) having engagement tails (22a) with a "C"-shaped contact section for receiving a respective connection tail of the pin terminal of the card connector section along with an adjacent leg portion (29) of the alignment section (28). This arrangement permits the significant reduction of the longitudinal size of the card connector. <IMAGE>
