  • Positive locking latch for edge card connector
    Patent number: 7371103
    Abstract: A connector, such as an edge card connector, is provided with positive locking ejection latches. The positive locking of the ejection latches ensure that an associated card inserted into the connector will not accidentally be ejected under shock and vibration conditions. To use the ejection latches, a locking member provided in association with the ejections latches must be disabled.

  • Angled edge card connector with low profile
    Publication number: 20080096412
    Abstract: The edge card connector provides communication between a daughterboard and a printed wiring board. The edge card connector is mounted to a printed wiring board and provides a slot which is angled relative to the printed wiring board. Upper terminals extend from an upper wall of the slot to the printed wiring board and lower terminals extend from a lower wall of the slot to provide communication between the daughterboard and the printed wiring board. In order to provide a low profile daughterboard-connector combination, portions of the connector housing below the plane of the slot have been minimized. In addition, portions of the lower terminals are provided above the plane of the slot in order to minimize the dimensions of the connector housing below the plane of the slot.
