Abstract: A dielectric housing has a board mounting face adapted to be positioned adjacent the printed circuit board, a card receiving face having a card slot extending along a longitudinal axis of said housing and terminal-receiving passages adjacent the slot, the housing being unitarily moulded of plastics material. Standoffs project from the board mounting face of the housing a first predetermined distance away from the board mounting face to space the housing from the board upon placement. Terminals are received in the passages, each terminal including a contact beam section in the housing, a tail section projecting from the housing and a retention section between for engaging a portion of the housing to retain the terminal. Retention bosses are moulded integrally with the housing in alignment with the passages and with the passages extending through the bosses. The retention bosses project from the board mounting face of the housing a second predetermined distance away from the mounting face, the second predetermined distance being less than the first predetermined distance. The terminals are stamped and formed of sheet metal material with at least portions of the retention sections of the terminals being located in the passages within the bosses.

Abstract: A push-pull edge card electrical connector is adapted for receiving an edge of a printed circuit board having contact pads on opposite sides of the board adjacent the edge. The connector includes an elongated dielectric housing having a board-receiving face. An elongated slot is disposed in the board-receiving face generally along a longitudinal axis of the housing for receiving the edge of the printed circuit board. A plurality of pairs of transversely spaced terminal-receiving cavities are disposed on opposite sides of the slot defining two rows of cavities lengthwise of the housing. The pairs of transversely spaced cavities are separated by transverse walls extending generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the housing. A plurality of terminals are received in the transversely spaced cavities. The terminals are in pairs for engaging the contact pads on opposite sides of the printed circuit board. One terminal in each pair is disposed in a respective one of the transversely spaced cavities. Recesses are provided in the transverse walls between the cavities for accommodating carrier strip cutoffs projecting from the terminals. Different length preloading walls are provided in the housing for preloading spring contact portions of the terminals.

Abstract: The connector comprises a connector housing having an elongated card slot disposed in it and extending between two opposing end portions of the connector. The card slot has a predetermined longitudinal axis and is adapted to receive the circuit card edge in it in an electrically operative relationship. The connector housing is defined by a pair of opposing sidewalls extending generally parallel to the axis and an endwall integral with and extending between the sidewalls. The endwall has a slot to define a pair of spaced apart, upstanding endwall sections. Each endwall section extends generally perpendicularly from an end portion of one of the sidewalls to define an L-shaped structure. A number of contact terminals are disposed in the housing. Each terminal has a portion positioned in the card slot for slidingly engaging the circuit card upon insertion of ir into the card slot. A latch/eject mechanism is positioned on at least one end portion of the connector housing, and includes a latch/eject member which is rotatable between a first position at which the circuit card is retained within the card slot and a second position at which at least a portion of the circuit card is ejected from the card slot and at which a portion of the latch/eject member extends through the slot in the endwall. The latch/eject mechanism includes a device for limiting the rotation of the latch/eject member during ejection of the circuit card from the card slot. The rotation limiting device includes an engagement surface formed on the latch/eject member. The engagement surface is generally vertical and engages one of the connector housing endwall sections when the latch/eject member is moved to the second position to thereby limit rotation of the latch/eject member. A device rotatably retains the latch/eject member within the housing.

Abstract: A SIMM socket with a metal latch (120) for retaining a SIMM therein is provided. The socket includes a housing (160) having a SIMM receiving slot (166) and a plurality of terminals (30) with contact beams extending into the slot. The SIMM is inserted into the slot in a first angular alignment with minimal insertion forces, and is rotted into a second alignment for achieving high quality electrical connection with the contact beams of the respective terminals. A metal latch (120) is provided for releasably retaining the SIMM in the preferred angular alignment within the socket. The latch is stamped and formed from a unitary piece of metallic material and includes a housing engaging portion (122) mounted around a mounting post (174) of the housing and a deflectable SIMM engaging portion (130). The housing includes walls for controlling the types and ranges of deflection that are permitted for the SIMM engaging portion.

Abstract: A card edge connector assembly includes an elongated housing (24) having opposite ends (28) with card injection and ejection levers (46) thereat, and a card receiving slot (25) between the ends. A printed circuit card (10) has an edge (12) insertable into the slot. The edge of the card is provided with a notch (16) for embracing a partition (40) spanning the slot of the housing to locate the card longitudinally of the housing. The partition of the housing and the notch in the card edge are complementarily offset from a mid-point of the slot to provide polarization between the card and the housing. Each insertion and ejection lever includes a plurality of spaced projections (64) for interengagement with a plurality of recesses in an adjacent side edge (14) of the printed circuit card. The projections move seriatim into and out of the recesses (18) in response to pivoting of the lever to thereby insert and eject the card to and from the slot in response to pivoting the lever between the latched position and the eject position.
