A socket connector includes a housing having a mating end and a mounting end. The housing has a receptacle at the mating end configured to receive an electronic module therein. The mounting end of the housing is configured to be mounted to a circuit board. Contacts are held by the housing. The contacts have mating ends exposed within the receptacle for mating with the electronic module. The contacts having mounting ends extending from the housing for terminating to the circuit board. A thermally conductive insert is held by the housing and is configured to be in thermal engagement with the circuit board and the insert has a module engagement interface configured to be in thermal engagement with the electronic module such that the insert transfers heat from the electronic module to the circuit board.

An electrical connector () includes an insulative housing () having a first end () having a supporting section (), a second opposite end () including a lever (), and a slot () extending from the first end to the second end, and a number of electrical terminals () mounted to the insulative housing. A memory module () has a first side portion () including a side engaging section (), an opposite second side portion () including a locking section () and a number of conductive pads (). When the memory module is to mate with the electrical connector, the side engaging section engages with the supporting section and the memory module is rotated on the supporting section to mate the conductive pads with the electrical terminals sequentially from the first end to the second end. The lever locks with the locking section to hold the memory module in the slot.

This invention relates to a monitoring arrangement for a hanging file folder for identifying information contained in an electronic file folder locator system. A hanging file folder, as known in the art, includes a pair of laterally extending support bars along a pair of upper edges of the file folder wherein each upper edge is formed with a channel for holding a respective support bar, and the file folder is formed with a plurality of apertures into one of the upper edge channels at a plurality of spaced locations along that channel. The monitoring arrangement comprises a pair of parallel, substantially horizontal, support rails spaced apart within a file cabinet to suspend the file folder therebetween. Further, there is provided a file folder label holder containing an addressable switch and a memory storing identifying information unique to the file folder, the label holder having a tab adapted to extend into a file folder upper edge aperture for mounting the label holder to the file folder, and a first pair of conductive lines extending along at least one of the support rails and adapted for connection to a communications bus of the electronic file folder locator system. Finally, a second pair of conductive lines are provided to extend along the one support bar within its channel of the file folder having the plurality of apertures, the second pair of conductive lines being located on the one support bar for contact with respective ones of the first pair of conductive lines when the file folder is supported on the pair of support rails, and circuitry within the label holder coupled to the addressable switch and the memory.

A socket for interconnecting an electronic module to a circuit board includes an insulative housing having a plurality of terminals applying a moment to the module. A U-shaped latch is positioned within a pocket at each end of the insulative housing. The U-shaped latch is of metal and has two legs joined by a bight, the two legs being flexible as the module is rotated into a slot in the insulative housing. The U-shaped latch includes a tab extending around an upwardly extending projection on the backwall of the housing to provide additional support to the latch. The latch thus provides means for holding the module securely within the housing after rotation to an upright position.

A double-ended electrical connecting device for connecting two wires to each other is generally U-shaped and comprises a web and sidewalls. The sidewalls are reversely bent inwardly towards each other and towards the web so that a double thickness of metal is provided in the upper portions of the sidewalls which are remote from the web. A wire-receiving opening is provided in the web and this opening merges with wire-receiving slots extending partially along the sidewalls. Additional wire-receiving slots extend inwardly from the upper free edges of the sidewalls through portions of the double thicknesses of metal. One wire is moved laterally of its axis and into each of the slots electrically to connect both wires to the connecting device and to each other.
