Abstract

A connector for positioning at a circuit board is disclosed. The connector includes a hollow base and a number of contact points. The hollow base enables the connector to firmly sit at the circuit board and encompasses an electronic device therein. The contact points are at the bottom surface of the hollow base for electrically coupling with the circuit board. Another combination type connector is also disclosed. The combination type connector includes an external connector and an internal connector. The external connector includes a hollow base and a number of first contact points at its bottom surface. The hollow base enables the connector to firmly sit at the circuit board and encompasses an electronic device on the circuit board. The first contact points are electrically coupled with the circuit board. The internal connector is at the hollow base of the external connector and has the second contact points for electrically connecting with the circuit board.

Claims

1. A hollow connector suitable for positioning at a circuit board at least comprising:

a hollow base for attaching the hollow connector onto the circuit board, wherein the hollow base is capable to encompassing an additional electronic device; and

a plurality of contact points positioning at a bottom surface of the hollow base for electrically coupling with the circuit board.

2. The hollow connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the additional electronic device is a resistor.

3. The hollow connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the additional electronic device is a capacitor.

4. The hollow connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the hollow connector is a SIM card connector.

5. A combination connector suitable for positioning at a circuit board at least comprising:

an external connector comprising;

a hollow base for attaching the external connector onto the circuit board, and

a plurality of first contact points positioning at a bottom surface of the hollow base for electrically coupling with the circuit board; and

an internal connector positioning inside the hollow base of the external connector, wherein a plurality of the second contact points are positioned at a bottom surface of the internal connector for electrically coupling with the circuit board.

6. The combination connector as claimed in claim 5, wherein the internal connector has a hollow base for encompassing an electronic device.

7. The combination connector as claimed in claim 5, wherein an interior of the hollow base of the external connector comprises a guiding recess and an outer surface of the internal connector comprises a sliding track complementary to the guiding recess so that the internal connector can be slid into the hollow base of the external connector along the guiding recess.

8. The combination connector as claimed in claim 5, wherein the external connector is a SIM card connector.

9. The combination connector as claimed in claim 5, wherein the internal connector is a battery connector.

10. The combination connector as claimed in claim 9, wherein the battery connector is a lithium battery connector.
