FOLDING SO-DIMM SOCKET

摘要

Sockets that provide easy access for users to change cards while allowing the use of thinner device enclosures. One example provides a socket having two positions. When the socket is in an open state, the card may be oriented in a direction substantially away from the main logic board. When the socket is in a closed state, the card moves such that it is oriented at least closer to being in parallel to the main logic board.

主权项

1. A socket for providing electrical connections for a plurality of cards to a board, the socket capable of being in:
an open state where one or more of a plurality of cards may be inserted into or removed from a plurality of receptacles in the socket, wherein when a card is inserted in the socket, it is substantially orthogonal to the board; and a closed state, wherein as the socket is closed, the card moves towards a position where the card is parallel to the board.
