主权项

1. A card edge connector comprising:
a longitudinal insulative housing comprising a pair of sidewalls opposite to each other and a pair of tower portions upwards integrally protruding from both ends of the sidewalls, thereby forming an inserting slot for receiving a memory module; a plurality of contacts retained in the insulative housing with contacting portions extending into the inserting slot for contacting with the memory module; an ejector pivotally received in a receiving opening formed by the tower portion and moving between an opening station for permitting the memory module be inserted and a locking station for locking the memory module, and the ejector comprising a body portion and a protruding portion protruding from the body portion and blocking with a corresponding inner side of the receiving opening; wherein the tower portion comprises a receiving recess for receiving the protruding portion, a blocking portion adjacent to outside of the receiving recess along a longitudinal direction and a sliding recess located on outside of the blocking portion; wherein the sliding recess forms a sufficient space to receive the protruding portion therein without interference, and said sliding recess is wider than the blocking portion to decrease an interference range between the ejector and the housing; wherein the tower portion comprises a guiding area formed between the sliding recess and the blocking portion for guiding the ejector sliding and passing through the blocking portion.
