Patent ID: 6857907

Claim:
An electrical connector comprising: a dielectric housing having a bottom wall that has opposite lateral sides, opposite lateral walls, each of which extends uprightly from a respective one of said lateral sides of said bottom wall and has an upper wall portion and a lower wall portion, and a partition wall parallel to and disposed above said bottom wall, said partition wall extending between said lateral walls and having opposite lateral ends, each of which is connected to a junction of said upper and lower wall portions of a respective one of said lateral walls, said partition wall cooperating with said lower wall portions of said lateral walls and said bottom wall so as to confine a first card receiving space, said dielectric housing further having a front open side for access into said first card receiving space, and a rear side; a cover plate mounted on said lateral walls and disposed above said partition wall of said dielectric housing such that said cover plate cooperates with said upper wall portions of said lateral walls and said partition wall so as to confine a second card receiving space; a set of first conductive terminals disposed on said bottom wall of said dielectric housing, each of said first conductive terminals having a first coupling end portion extending outwardly of one of said front open side and said rear side of said dielectric housing, and a first contacting end portion opposite to said first coupling end portion and projecting into said first card receiving space; and a set of second conductive terminals disposed on said partition wall of said dielectric housing, each of said second conductive terminals having a second coupling end portion extending outwardly of said rear side of said dielectric housing, and a second contacting end portion opposite to said second coupling end portion and projecting into said second card receiving space, with a rear wall being disposed at said rear side and formed with a plurality of mounting holes that respectively permit extension of said first coupling end portions of said first conductive terminals and said second coupling end portions of said second conductive terminals.
