Abstract

Card edge connectors that are reliable and robust against impacts by external forces while having narrower widths by industry standards. A connector includes a housing having a body with a slot elongated longitudinally. The housing has a pair of towers extending vertically from opposite ends of the longitudinal slot. Each tower has a slot elongated vertically, and is narrower than the body in a transverse direction. The longitudinal slot and the vertical slots are configured to receive edges of an electronic card. The connector has a pair of reinforcing members. Each reinforcing member is at least partially disposed on a tower and configured to support a joint between the tower and the body of the housing. Such a configuration can increase robustness of the connector at the joints and therefore reduce the risks of deforming or cracking the towers when the connector is impacted by an external force.
