Abstract: A card edge connector (100) includes an elongated insulative housing (1), a plurality of contacts (2) and an ejector (3) assembled in the insulative housing (1). The ejector (3) has a base (31) and two gripping portions (34) extending upwardly from the base (31). The gripping portions have an accommodating slot (340) therebetween for receiving a bottom edge of a memory module (200).

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 elongated housing extending along a lengthwise direction thereof and having a pair of opposed side walls, and a central slot between the side walls. A plurality of contacts are retained in the housing and exposed to the central slot. A pair of ejector mechanisms are rotatable retained on two opposite ends of the housing. A pair of auxiliary insulators are attached to the ejector mechanisms, respectively. A tie wrap is located on the auxiliary insulators to urge the auxiliary insulators to prevent the ejector mechanisms from rotating.

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.
