A collapsible mount for mounting an electronic device to a circuit board includes a base adapted to be fixed to the circuit board and two support arms each having a lower end pivotably connected to the base and spaced from each other so as to be rotatable with respect to the base between a stowed position and an expanded position wherein the two support arms are substantially opposite to each other to define a space therebetween adapted to accommodate the electronic device therein.

Collapsible circuit board mount

A retention module comprises a U-shaped bracket and a pair of retention mechanisms. The bracket includes a base portion and a pair of support portions formed at opposite ends of the base portion. The base portion defines a main slot for snugly receiving an elongate connector. Each support portion includes a lateral wall and a pair of retention walls inwardly extending from opposite edges of the lateral wall. An elongate notch is defined in each lateral wall and exposed to a top thereof. Each retention mechanism includes a body and a pair of ears. The ears are adapted to engage with the notches of the bracket thereby retaining the retention mechanism thereto. A groove is defined in a surface of the body and exposed to a bottom thereof for securing an upper corner of the CPU.

Universal retention module

A module card retainer includes a base closure having two elongate side walls connected to two U-shaped end walls and defining a slot therebetween. Two clamping arms each have a central plate and two side plates pivotably connected to two side wall portions of the U-shaped end wall, respectively. Each clamping arm defines an inner channel between the central plate and the side plates. A seat is attached to each side wall portion of the U-shaped end wall. A locking member is retained in the seat and cooperates with a bolt to fix the seat onto a mother board.

Module card retainer device

A terminal comprises a terminal body and a leg extending downward from a first edge of the terminal body. An elastic arm extends upward from a second edge opposite to the first end, and a grasping plate is integrally formed at an end of the elastic arm. The grasping plate includes a curved surface for receiving a mating terminal with a low insertion force. The elastic arm has a section of reduced dimension to facilitate deformation of the grasping plate when contacting a mating terminal.

Terminal having low insertion force

A foldable supporting bracket assembly for use with a connector comprises a supporting bracket having a mounting joint at each end thereof, and a supporting pillar pivotably assembled to the mounting joint. Interengaging means for securely positioning the supporting pillar with respect to the mounting joint includes a raised portion integrally formed at a base wall of the pillar. The raised portion defines a directing passage therethrough. A block portion is integrally formed between lugs of the mounting joint and defines a retaining passage therethrough. A latch tab is inserted through the directing passage and the retaining passage thereby securely positioning the supporting pillar with respect to the mounting joint.

Foldable supporting bracket assembly

A foldable retainer device includes a pair of clamping members pivotably connected to distal ends of an elongate base frame, and a folding mechanism for retaining the pair of clamping members either perpendicular or parallel to the base frame.
