A card edge connector with latches that improve the connector's reliability. The connector comprises a housing having a slot elongated in a longitudinal direction and a pair of towers disposed on opposite ends of the housing and extending in a vertical direction. A pair of latches are disposed in the towers, respectively. Each latch has a groove disposed above the respective tower for receiving a flange of a card inserted in the slot. Each latch has a clip disposed in its groove for engaging the flange of the card. The clips are configured to restrain movement of the card in the longitudinal direction, the vertical direction, and a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal and vertical directions when the latches are in locked positions. Such a configuration enables more reliable connections and improves the connector's shock resistance while being compatible with cards having a variety of thicknesses.

Robust card edge connector with improved latching structure

A card edge connector with members configured to secure a mating component so as to improve the connector's reliability. The connector housing may have a slot configured to receive the mating component. The slot has a first portion configured to receive a front edge of the mating component, and second portions extending from opposite ends of the first portion and configured to receive side edges of the mating component. Members are disposed in the housing and have beams curving into respective second portions of the slot. The beams of the members are configured to restrain movement of the mating component when the mating component is inserted into the slot. Such a configuration enables more reliable connections and improves the connector's shock resistance while being compatible with mating components having a variety of sizes.

Reliable electrical connector

A card edge connector with latches that improve the connector's reliability. The connector comprises a housing having a slot for receiving a card and latches on opposite ends of the slot for locking the card in the slot. Each latch includes a body and a projection extending in a transverse direction from a side surface of the body. The latch is pivotably connected to the housing by the projection. The latch may rotate about the projection between a locked position and an unlocked position. The body includes a lower body and an upper body wider than the lower body in the transverse direction. The projection is disposed on the lower body. The latch further includes a protrusion extending between the projection and the upper body. Such a configuration restricts the latches from moving in the housing and therefore improves the reliability of the connector.

Reliable electrical connector with latch

The present disclosure provides an electrical connector. The electrical connector includes an insulating body and one or more reinforcing members. The insulating body comprises a pair of side portions which extend in a longitudinal direction, and a pair of tower portions which are connected to respective ends of the pair of side portions. The pair of side portions and the pair of tower portions form a longitudinal card slot. The ends of the card slot extend into the pair of tower portions respectively. A reinforcing member may be arranged in a tower portion. When an electronic card is inserted into the card slot, the one or more reinforcing members can maintain the shape of the tower portions and prevent deformation or cracking of the tower portions when the electronic card is impacted by an external force.
