Reference will now be made to the drawings to describe the present invention in detail.
Referring to
The housing 1 comprises a pair of opposite first sidewalls 10, a pair of opposite second sidewalls 11 connecting with the first sidewall 10, and a bottom wall 12 connecting with the first and second sidewalls 10, 11. The first and second sidewalls 10, 11 and the bottom wall 12 are cooperative to provide an upper receiving cavity 13 for receiving the camera module 200 therein. A plurality of passageways 14 respectively extends from the first and second sidewalls 10, 11 through the bottom wall 12 to form an L-shaped configuration for receiving corresponding terminals 2 therein. The passageway 14 defines a vertical portion (not labeled) formed in the first and second sidewalls 10, 11 and a horizontal portion (not labeled) formed through the bottom wall 12. The first sidewall 10 defines a pair of recesses 102 at opposite ends adjacent to the respective second sidewalls 11 and a pair of slots 104 formed on an upper portion thereof. One of the second sidewalls 11 defines a protrusion 114 formed on a middle portion thereof and a pair of gaps 112 formed at opposite ends of the protrusion 114. The other second sidewall 11 defines a pair of protrusions 114 corresponding to the gaps 112 of the one sidewall 11 and a gap 112 corresponding to the protrusion 114 of the one sidewall 11. The protrusion 114 defines a slant surface 113 on an upper portion thereof for guiding the camera module 200 to insert into the receiving cavity 13.
The terminal 2 comprises a base portion 21 received in the vertical portion of the passageway 14, a spring arm 22 extending slantly outward from one end of the base portion 21 to form an acute angle between the spring arm 22 and the base portion 21, and a soldering portion 23 extending horizontally from the other end of the base portion 21 and received in the horizontal portion of the passageway 14. The spring arm 22 defines a contact portion 220 at a distal end thereof for electrically connecting with the camera module 200.
The first shielding member 3 is integrally formed by bending a punched metal plate and comprises a pair of first walls 30 for enclosing corresponding first sidewall 10 of the housing 1, and a pair of second walls 31 for enclosing corresponding second sidewall 11 of the housing 1. The first walls 30 and the second walls 31 are cooperative to form an opening 32 for enclosing the housing I from an lower-to-upper direction. Each first wall 30 defines a pair of L-shaped retaining tabs 301 formed on an upper portion thereof to engage with corresponding slots 104 of the housing 1, and a pair of S-shaped retaining members 300 extending slantly upwardly and inwardly to the receiving cavity 13 of the housing I from a lower portion thereof so as to receive in corresponding recess 102 of the housing 1. The retaining member 300 comprises a connecting portion 3002 extending horizontally toward to the opening 32 from the lower portion of the first wall 30, a spring portion 3004 extending vertically and upwardly from one end of the connecting portion 3002, and a resilient tab 3006 extending downwardly from an upper portion of the spring portion 3004. The resilient tab 3006 defines a gyroidally smooth portion (not labeled) at a distal end thereof. One of the second walls 31 defines a pair of slices 314 bending into the opening 32 from an upper portion thereof, while the other second wall 31 defines only one slice 34, whereby engaging with corresponding projections 114 of the housing 1. The second wall 31 also defines a pair of hooks 312 extending outwardly from a lower portion thereof.
The second shielding member 4 includes a top plate 41 and a plurality of securing pieces 40 depending downwardly from the top plate 41. The top plate 41 defines a receiving opening 410 in a middle portion thereof, and a plurality of stamped ribs 411 protruding downwardly at corners of the receiving opening 410. Each of opposite securing pieces 40 defines a pair of holes 400 thereof for engaging with corresponding hook 312 of the first shielding member 3.
