  • Patent number: 12658620
    Abstract: A card edge connector with reduced height that operates reliably. The connector has a housing with a slot extending toward a mounting face. An electronic card can be inserted into the slot until an edge of the card is in a seating plane. The connector has a latch pivotally connected to the housing which may be rotated to eject the card. A reinforcing member may be disposed in the latch with a foot extending between the edge of the card and the mounting face such that, when the latch is rotated, the foot may press against the edge of the card to eject the card. The reinforcing member is both mechanically stronger and thermally more conductive than the latch. Such a configuration enables the seating plane to be closer to the mounting face than that required to meet industry standards.
