Abstract
The invention provides a connector that incorporates an insert that may protect the contacts of a card slot. The insert may also double as a structural member so that the opening of the card slot does not deform. The insert may be a device that engages the card slot of an edge card. In one embodiment, the insert may include a wall stop, a grip, and a protective member. The grip may extend from a back side of the wall stop and the protective member may extend from a front side of the wall stop.
