Patent attributes
An electrical card connector assembly (100) includes an electrical card connector and a printed circuit board (PCB) (4). The electrical card connector includes an insulating housing (2), a plurality of terminals (31) received in the insulating housing and a metal shield (1) covering the insulating housing to define a card receiving room. The insulating housing forms an upper face (20), a lower face (21) and two lateral walls (22) and defines at least one cavity (24). The lateral walls form a plurality of blocks (221). The metal shield includes a base (11), a pair of sidewalls (12) and at least one elastic piece (110) extending along a card insertion direction. The sidewalls define openings (121) receiving the blocks of the sidewalls and form at least one retention portion (120). The base forms a baffle (13) at a rear edge thereof. The PCB is attached with the lower face of the insulating housing and electrically connected with the terminals. Both the retention portion and the baffle press against a lower surface of the PCB and the elastic piece extends into the cavity by a horizontal movement of the metal shield relative to the insulating housing and the PCB.
