Abstract

A card edge connector that provides reliable performances while satisfying smaller dimensions required by industry standards. The connector has a housing holding terminals. The housing has a body, a tower narrower than the body, and a slot extending from the body to the tower. The tower has a tower body protruding from an end of the body of the housing and an extension protruding from the tower body away from the slot. The connector has a latch pivotably connected to the housing. The latch has a recess configured to receive the extension of the tower. The connector has a reinforcing member between the tower body and the extension. Such a configuration enables the tower and/or the latch to be narrower such that more components can be disposed in a system in which the connector is disposed, while strong enough to sustain various operating conditions of the system.
