Abstract: A card edge connector includes an elongated insultive housing extending along a longitudinal direction, a plurality of conductive terminals retained in the insultive housing and an ejector retained at one longitudinal end of the insultive housing. The insultive housing defines a central slot recessed from an upper surface thereof for receiving a memory module. The ejector defines a base portion and a pair of gripping portions extending from the base portion along a vertical direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, said two gripping portions have an accommodating slot located therebetween and running therethrough in the longitudinal direction for receiving the memory module and a latching means located in the accommodating slot for locking the memory module. The latching means defines an opening communicating with said accommodating slot, a first lump portion and a second lump portion separated from each other by the opening.

Abstract: A card edge connector includes an elongated insulative housing extending along a left-to-right direction, a plurality of conductive terminals retained in the insulative housing and an ejector retained at one end of the insulative housing. The insulative housing defines a central slot recessed from an upper surface thereof for receiving a memory module. The ejector defines a base portion and a pair of gripping portions extending upwardly from the base portion, two gripping portions have an accommodating slot located therebetween for receiving the memory module and a lump portion located in the accommodating slot. The lump portion defines an elastic arm projecting into the accommodating slot for locking the memory module, When the memory module is pulled out in a hard-interference manner, the memory module will press upwardly against the elastic arm so that the elastic arm is elastically deformed to release the memory module.

The accommodating slot (340) has a first accommodating slot (3401) and a second accommodating slot (3402) for receiving a vertical bottom edge (211) and a transverse bottom edge (212) of the memory module (200), respectively. Thereby the memory module (200) could be stably inserted in the card edge connector (100).

Abstract: A terminal strip includes a number of terminals and a strip connecting the terminals. The terminal has a body, a soldering portion extending downwardly from the body and a spring beam extending upwardly from the body. The strip has a number of slots defined during punching the soldering portion thereof. The body has a bottom edge and a connecting portion connecting with the soldering portion. A breaking cut is formed in the connecting place between the bottom edge and the strip. The breaking cut is distributed into a number of slots connecting with each other. The configuration of the breaking slot can make several slots each with a short tearing journey when the terminals are separated from the strip, that can improve the efficacy of the product yield.

Abstract: A card edge connector includes an ejector (3) with a pushing portion (32) extending from distal end thereof, the ejector (3) moves between an opening station and a locking station, and at least pair detecting contacts (4) which includes two detecting pins (41, 42), one of the detecting pins defines a spring engaging arm having an engaging portion (425) opposite to the pushing portion (32) which presses on the engaging portion (425) in the locking station or leave the engaging portion (425) in the opening station, thereby making the two detecting pins engage or disengage with each other for detecting if a memory card is inserted in the card edge connector or not.

Abstract: A card edge connector includes an elongated housing extending along an elongated direction thereof, and having a first housing half, a second housing half being discrete from the first housing half, and a central slot formed between the first and the second housing halves. A plurality of contacts are retained in the housing, and each has a contact portion protruding into the central slot. A width of the central slot could be adjusted before mounting the card edge connector to a mother board for receiving different daughter boards with different thicknesses.

Abstract: A card edge connector (100) includes an insulative housing (1) and a latch retained at one end of the insulative housing (1). The insulative housing (1) includes a mounting slot (16). The latch (3) has a resilience extending portion (311) retained in the mounting slot (16) upwardly. The mounting slot (16) defines a pressing face (112) latching with the extending portion (311) for preventing the extending portion (311) from moving downwardly, thereby the latch (3) could be stably retained on the housing.

Abstract: A card edge connector for connecting a card to a printed circuit board includes an insulative housing, a plurality of contacts and a pair of grounding pads. The insulative housing has a lengthwise base portion having a card-receiving slot and a pair of locating arms having an extending portion which extends forwardly from the base portion. The contacts are retained in the insulative housing and extend into the card-receiving slot to electrically contact with the inserted card. The grounding pads each include a main body which has a frame and a solder pad. The locating arms each further include a spring fork-shaped locking portion extending from the extending portion for preventing the grounding pad releasing from the corresponding locating arm when the frame of the grounding pad is securely seated in the extending portion from the locking portion.
