The housinghas an longitudinal central slotand at least a towers portionlocated at one ends of thereof. The ejectorcomprise a pair of elastic walls, a slit formed between the elastic walls. the elastic wallcomprise a pair of first elastic wallsand a pair of second elastic wallsextending downwardly from the first elastic wallsrespectively, the second elastic wallscomprises a first connecting walland a second connecting wallextending downwardly from the first connecting wall, a thickness of the first connecting wallis equal to a sum of the thickness of the first elastic walland the second connecting wall

Card Edge Connector

A card edge connectorincludes a longitudinal insulating housing, a set of terminalsset in the insulating housingand a lock mechanismfor locking a daughter card. The insulating housinghas an elongated slotand a pair of towerspositioned at two opposite ends thereof. The lock mechanismincludes a locking portionlocking the daughter cardand an operating portionmoving the locking mechanism. A depressionis formed at one end of the lock mechanismclose to the locking portion. The card edge connectorfurther includes a handle columnreceived in the depressionand extending out of the depression. Hence, we can operate the lock mechanismeasily, and at the same time, the room the card edge connector occupies can be reduced.

A card edge connector () includes an insulative housing, a set of contacts () retained in the insulative housing and an ejector (). The insulative housing has a central slot () and at least one tower portion (). The tower portion includes a pair of outer walls () and a receiving slot () formed between the outer walls. Each outer wall has a ladder with a circular hole () formed therein. The ejector has a pair of spindles () received in the circular holes and a pair of standoffs (). Each standoff has a horizontal surface () abutting against a corresponding horizontal resisting surface () formed on the ladder so as to make centers of the spindle and the circular hole overlap when the ejector rotates inwardly.

A card edge connector for mating with a corresponding daughter cardwith a locking notchat a side thereof, comprises: an insulative housing, a plurality of contactsassembled to the insulative housingand an ejectorand a locking memberset on two longitudinal ends of the insulative housing. The insulative housing defines a central slotalong the longitudinal direction. The locking memberis formed with a retention portionand a pair of elastic armsextending upwardly from the retention portionand symmetrically located on two opposite sides of the central slot along a transverse direction perpendicular to longitudinal direction, each elastic armhaving a locking portionprotruding toward each other for locking with the locking notchof the daughter card

A card edge connector () includes a longitudinal insulative housing (), a set of contacts (), and an ejector () rotatablely attached the insulative housing. The insulative housing has a longitudinal direction and a thickness direction, the insulative housing has a central slot (). The contacts have contacting portions () arranged at two sides of the central slot () in the thickness direction. The ejector () includes a main portion (), an ejecting portion () extending from a first end of the main portion and along the longitudinal direction, a locking portion () extending from a second end of the main portion opposite to the first end and along the longitudinal direction, and a lever portion () extending from the second end and along the thickness direction.

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.
