  • Connector with force isolating ejector system
    Patent number: 6837730
    Abstract: A connector is provided for mounting a module, such as a voltage regulator module, to a printed circuit board. The connector includes a housing having side walls defining a slot for receiving a module, such as a voltage regulator module, therein. Terminals are provided in the housing and are in communication with the slot. Latches and solder nails are provided at opposite ends of the side walls. The solder nails and latches may be formed as two separate components which are connected together or may be integrally formed. When a force, such as from vibration and/or shock, is applied to the latches, the force is transmitted directly to the solder nail and directed away from the leads.
