Card plug-in board provided with card half-plug state detection switch

Abstract

The present invention provides a card plug-in board provided with a card half-plug state detection switch, wherein an opening of a card plug-in part of a housing of which a bottom is arranged towards a substrate is provided with a gate pushed down by a card inserted into the card plug-in part, and a detection switch which is acted with a pushing down action of the gate, an orifice is formed at a bottom of the card plug-in part near the gate, at the same time, the gate is provided with a contact piece part forming the detection switch, when the gate is pushed down by the inseted card, patterns used for the switch opposite to the substrate pass through the orifice, and the contact piece part is conducted. The card plug-in board provided with the card half-plug state detection switch has the advantages that: the cost is reduced by reducing element numbers, a necessary space used for the switch mechanism is smaller, and the housing is miniaturised.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a card connector for IC cards, SD cards, memory cards, etc., more specifically, to a card connector with a card half-insertion state detection switch provided with a switch for detecting the half-insertion state of the card. Background technique [0002] In the past, among such card inserts, a card insert with a switch for detection has been developed. Even if the card is not fully inserted into the card insertion portion of the card insert, that is, in a half-inserted state, the switch can automatically detect that the card is inserted. (eg Patent Document 1). [0003] This conventional card inserter is equipped with a switch, and the shutter for preventing dust intrusion that is located at the entrance of the card insertion part operates to perform the on / off operation. The gate is integrally provided with an operating portion for switching operations. On the other hand, a switch mechanism storage space is provided ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] The above-mentioned conventional card inserter with a card half-inserted state detection switch is provided with a switch composed of an operating side contact spring and a non-operating side contact spring, and an operating part for operating it is integrally provided on the gate, so there is a large number of parts. Many, high manufacturing costs

[0007] In addition, it is required to accommodate the operating side contact spring and the non-operating side contact spring in the switch space provided in the side wall of the housing. In addition, in order to ensure the operating stroke of the operating side contact spring in this space, the back surface of the non-operating side contact spring is also required. Space for evacuation is required, so the switch mechanism storage space needs to be wide, and there is a problem that the shape of the case has to be enlarged
