Abstract
An IC card connector comprises an insulative housing defining a number of terminals receiving passageways therein, a number of terminals received in the passageways, a shielding cover and a support plate. A number of fixing posts and a number of mounting portions projects from a bottom surface of the housing. The support plate defines a number of mounting openings and mounting apertures therethrough. The support portion is attached to the bottom surface of the housing and the fixing posts and the projections of the housing extend through the mounting holes and the mounting apertures of the support plate, respectively. Processed by an ultrasonic fusing method, the posts and the apertures of the support plate become molten and bond the support plate to the housing thereby securing the terminals within the passageways of the housing.
