ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an improved card connector comprising a shell assembly and a pin connector assembly. The pin connector assembly includes an insulating housing mounting upper and lower rows of signal terminals and an upper and lower grounding terminal. The signal terminals include connection pins arranged in upper and lower rows and solder tails for connecting to an underlying printed circuit board. The upper grounding terminal includes a downwardly extending rear wall having window apertures formed therein. The upper rows of signal pins pass through the window apertures without contacting the grounding terminal and terminate at the solder tails. The upper and lower grounding terminals are electrically coupled, and a single row of DIP-type solder tails extending from the lower grounding terminals can be soldered to selected conductors on a printed circuit board to couple both of the grounding terminals to a ground circuit of the printed circuit board.
