Abstract:
A card connector (100) includes an insulative housing (1) and a number of conductive contacts (2) retained in the insulative housing (1). Each conductive contact (2) has a retaining portion (21) and a contacting portion (25) located in front of the retaining portion (21). The insulative housing (1) has a protrusion (131) extending upwardly. The retaining portion (21) has a confronting portion (26) engaging with the protrusion (131). Each contact (2) also has a soldering portion (24) extending from a rear end of the retaining portion (21), the soldering portion (24) is located under the retaining portion (21). The insulative housing (1) is sandwiched between the retaining portion (21) and the soldering portion (24) along a top to bottom direction. Therefore, the size of the card connector (100) is reduced.
Abstract:
The present invention relates a bidirectional signal transmission apparatus and method, wherein said apparatus comprises a processor unit connected in signal communication with an Ethernet, an RF modulation/demodulation unit, and an RF frequency conversion unit connected in signal communication with a coaxial cable network. The data signal input from the Ethernet is modulated into standard IEEE802.11 signal by means of said signal processing unit and RF modulation/demodulation unit, and then down-converted from 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz standard IEEE802.11 signal to a range of 500 MHz to 2000 MHz, and preferably to a range of 900 MHz to 1200 MHz. The bidirectional transmission apparatus further includes a frequency band selector for selecting different frequency bands so as to broaden the bandwidth of the signal and a real broad band data transmission is accomplished.
