Abstract
A mold for forming a dielectric housing for a card edge connector, wherein the housing has an elongated body defining a central slot for receiving a lower edge of a memory module. The elongated body has two lateral ends each formed with a tower for pivotably receiving an ejector for latching or ejecting the memory module received by the connector. A number of contact passageways are defined beside the slot for receiving a number of contacts therein for electrically engaging with golden fingers on the lower edge of the memory module. The mold has a gate located proximate to a lateral end face of one of the towers of the housing to be formed by the mold, and a number of core pins in the cavity for forming the contact passageways. The core pins located nearest to the gate have a cross section larger than that of the other core pins so that they are strong enough to withstand a fluctuation of a high pressure for injecting molten plastics into the mold.
