Memory module and electrical connector for the same

摘要

A memory module pair includes first and second memory modules. Each of the first and second memory modules includes a circuit board having opposite first and second side edges and a front edge, along which a plurality of pins are arranged. Each circuit board of the first and second memory modules has a key notch formed closer to the first side edge than to the second side edge. The circuit board of the first memory module has a corner notch that is formed on the front edge and the first side edge, while the circuit board of the second memory module has a corner notch that is formed on the front edge and the second side edge.

主权项

1. An electrical connector configured to receive a memory module comprising a circuit board, wherein the circuit board comprises two opposite side edges, a front edge extending transverse to the side edges, two first side notches configured for latching and respectively formed on the two opposite side edges, one second side notch formed on one of the side edges, and two corner notches each formed on the front edge and a respective one of the side edges; the electrical connector comprises a first protrusion configured to mate with the second side notch, two second protrusions configured to mate with the two corner notches, and the electrical connector comprises:
an insulating body comprising a slot for receiving the front edge; a protrusion protruding from the insulating body and configured to mate with the second side notch; and two latch arms extending from the insulating body and each comprising a latch element configured to enter into a corresponding one of the first side notches for latching.
