Even when a connection board has a large thickness tolerance, a stable connection is achieved by absorbing the tolerance so as to stabilize a contact pressure between the connection board and contacts. In a unit in which electrode groups of a connection board are in pressure contact with elastic contacts formed integrally with an inner housing to connect thereto, the inner housing is provided inside an outer case of a card edge connector through an elastic member to be freely movable forward and backward in a thickness direction of the connection board. The positions of the elastic contacts are adjusted by forward or backward moving the inner housing in accordance with the thickness of the connection board inserted into board insertion slots, so a pressure contact force with the elastic contacts is substantially equalized, irrespective of the size of the thickness of the connection board.

A connector assembly comprises a main connector, a first wiring sheet and a second wiring sheet. The main connector has a receiving portion. The first wiring sheet has a first positioned portion, a first deformable portion extending from the first positioned portion and a first contact provided on the first deformable portion. The second wiring sheet has a second positioned portion, a second deformable portion extending from the second positioned portion and a second contact provided on the second deformable portion. When the connector assembly is assembled, the first positioned portion and the second positioned portion are positioned by a positioning jig. Then, the first deformable portion and the second deformable portion are pressed downward to be pushed into the receiving portion so that the first contact and the second contact are located within the receiving portion to be in contact with each other.

An electrical connector is provided to be mated with a mating component. The electrical connector includes: a main body extending along a transverse direction; multiple terminals fixed to the main body and arranged along the transverse direction; and at least one insulating member connected with the main body and provided above the terminals. When the mating component is mated with the electrical connector, the terminals are electrically connected with the mating component, and each insulating member is in contact with at least one corresponding terminal, such that the insulating member move in a vertical direction and a front-rear direction simultaneously, which is equivalent to the case where a section of each terminal exposed from the main body is turned to be covered by the insulating member instead of being exposed in air.

A slide rail assembly includes a sliding rail and a supporting device. The supporting device includes a supporting bracket and a sliding bracket. The supporting bracket defines at least one sliding slot along an extending direction of the supporting bracket, and the sliding bracket defines at least one sliding portion corresponding to the at least one sliding slot. The sliding bracket is slidably connected to the supporting bracket through the at least one sliding portion and the at least one sliding slot, the sliding bracket is mounted to the sliding rail. The supporting device is also disclosed.

An electrical connector for receiving an FFC/FPC includes an insulating housing, a plurality of conductive terminals, a pair of retaining pins, and a metal cover. The insulating housing includes a main body and a pair of shoulder parts. Each shoulder part has a guiding bump, and a pre-pressing board. An oblique-entry space is formed between the guiding bump and the pre-pressing board. The pair of retaining pins are respectively fixed in the pair of shoulder parts. A bottom end of the retaining pin is exposed from the bottom surface of the insulating housing. The metal cover is slidably disposed on the top surface of the insulating housing, and includes a top pressing plate and a pair of side sliding rails. A front end of the top pressing plate has a pressing rib. The metal cover is movably arranged between an initial position and a pressed position.

A connector for establishing electrical connections with a PCB comprises first and second sets of contact pads arranged in first and second rows on a same surface of the PCB. The connector includes a first set of elongated contacts, a second set of elongated contacts, and a contact block. The first set of contacts have contact surfaces that form a first row of contact surfaces configured to make and break electrical connectivity with the first set of contact pads of the PCB. The second set of contacts have contact surfaces that form a second row of contact surfaces configured to make and break electrical connectivity with the second set of contact pads of the PCB. The contact block supports the first and second sets of contacts and causes the contact surfaces to wipe against the first and second sets of contact pads when making and breaking electrical connectivity therewith.
