A card edge connector includes: an elongated insulative housing comprising two longitudinal walls, a center slot defined between the longitudinal walls, and plural terminal receiving passageways arranged along the longitudinal walls; and plural terminals fixed in the terminal receiving passageways, wherein each of the longitudinal walls defines a first recessed portion extending along a longitudinal direction and plural second recessed portions extending upwardly from the first recessed portion at an outer surface thereof, the second recessed portions are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction, the first recessed portion goes through a bottom face of the longitudinal wall, and the second recessed portions does not go through a top of the longitudinal wall.

Card edge connector having an insulative housing with recessed portions on outer surfaces thereof

A card edge connector includes an insulative elongated housing defining an elongated slot extending along a longitudinal direction. Two rows of contacts are disposed in the housing so as to be paired in each cross-sectional plane in a transverse direction. A pair of towers are located at two opposite ends of the housing in the longitudinal direction. A pair of ejectors/lockers are disposed in the corresponding towers and rotational about a pivot extending along the transverse direction. Each ejector has a bottom kicker adapted to intimately confront a bottom edge of the memory module for ejecting the memory module out of the housing. The kicker slightly interferes with the contacting sections of the neighboring contacts when the ejector is located at an outer position so as to be retained in position with regard to the housing.

Card edge connector equipped with ejector interacting with neighboring contacts

A card edge connector includes an insulative elongated housing, a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing, and a pair of rotatable ejectors at two ends of the housing. The housing includes a pair of side walls extending along the longitudinal direction with a receiving slot therebetween in a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and a pair of towers at two opposite ends of the housing in the longitudinal direction. The receiving slot is configured to receive a card type memory module. The pair of ejectors are disposed in the corresponding towers, respectively. Each ejector includes a kicker at the bottom wherein a tip of the kicker will not invade into the space between the pair of outermost contacts so as not interfere with the corresponding outermost contacts when the ejector is rotated to be at an open/ejecting position.
