ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector particularly adapted for use in a PCMCIA standard connector designed for increased performance, ease of manufacturing, and allowing the connector casing to contain a printed circuit board having larger components is presented. A grounding shield with a hallowed-out area is implemented in the connector casing to create more room for a PC board given the same amount of vertical clearance allowing componentry to be larger than would otherwise be possible. Further, the grounding shield has a soldering cup to allow better adhesion of the solder to the plated grounding shield and to allow the connector to be more easily manufactured. The buttons used to disengage the connector from its receptacle are extended outward from the connection to provide easier accessibility in limited space circumstances. Additionally, the casing and buttons have opposing angles in order to provide more convenient and sure grasping by the user. The latch assembly has an innovative nipple area that allows the connector to be securely but less rigidly connected to allow permitting the connector to withstand larger jolts or shocks without receiving damage. Finally, a retention clip on the housing prevents the latch assembly from becoming stuck or damaging the PCMCIA card or receptacle.
