An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a dual-in line memory module (DIMM) socket having a first electrical circuit component embedded in a latch of the DIMM socket. The first electrical circuit component has a first exposed electrical contact that is to contact or not contact a second exposed electrical contact of a second electrical circuit component that is embedded in a housing of the socket depending on whether a corner of a DIMM is or is not properly inserted into the DIMM socket.

A modular die cast enclosure comprising a top section with a top mid-plane and a bottom section with a bottom mid-plane and an internal bottom cover. The bottom section having one or more of a first type of connectors. The top section having one or more of a second type of connectors on. The internal bottom cover having one or more of a third type of connectors. Wherein said first type of connectors couple with said second type of connectors when the top section is placed on the bottom section and allow to electrically connect said top and bottom sections via said third type of connectors.

An example electrical connector includes a body to receive a circuit board. The body includes a first end and a second end. The electrical connector also includes a first latch rotatably attaches to the first end. The electrical connector further includes a second latch rotatably attaches to the second end. The electrical connector further includes a link member attached to the body. In response to a rotation of the first latch, the link member is to slide across the body from the first latch towards the second latch to rotate the second latch.

An electrical connector for use in a compact system. The connector includes a housing having a pair of towers and an elongated slot between the towers. Each tower has an ejector, a rotator, and a locking member disposed therein. The rotator has a first arm coupled to the ejector and a second arm extending into the slot for coupling to a mating component inserted into the slot. When the first arm is pushed down by the ejector, the second arm pushes up the mating component, causing the locking member to deform so as to release the mating component. When the second arm does not push the mating component, the locking member is in its rest state and locks the mating component in the slot; Such a configuration enables the connector to unmate with a mating component without latches that move outside a perimeter of the connector.

According to examples, a memory module with module rows of conductive contacts can enable multiple memory channels to be connected to the same memory module. In one example, a memory module includes a printed circuit board (PCB) having a first face, a second face, and an edge to be received by a connector. The memory module includes a plurality of memory chips on at least one of the first and second faces of the PCB. The memory module includes two or more rows of conductive contacts on each of the first and second faces of the PCB, the two rows including a first row of conductive contacts proximate to the edge of the PCB to be received by the connector, and a second row of conductive contacts between the first row and a second edge of the PCB opposite to the first edge.

An electrical connector assembly includes: a first frame defining plural accommodating cavities; plural transmission units partially received in the accommodating cavities, respectively, each of the transmission units comprising a card edge connector received in a corresponding accommodating cavity, a motherboard connector, and a circuit board connected with the card edge connector and the motherboard connector; and a second frame attached to the first frame; wherein the second frame presses against and hold the circuit boards in position.

A contact for a high-speed data communication interface includes a first portion configured to be coupled to a first component associated with the high-speed data communication interface, a second portion configured to be coupled to a mating contact of a second component associated with the high-speed data communication interface, and a third portion configured to provide a sliding surface when coupled to the mating contact. The sliding surface is coated with a ferromagnetic coating.

An electrical connector includes: a housing; plural terminals held on the housing, the terminals being arranged in the form of terminal pairs for transmitting differential signals; plural first shielding sheets shielding the terminals; and plural second shielding sheets shielding the terminals, the second shielding sheet being arranged to cross the first shielding sheets to form plural shielding cavities separated from each other, the terminal pairs being distributed in corresponding shielding cavities, wherein one first shielding sheet is provided between each terminal pair and an laterally adjacent terminal pair and two second shielding sheets are provided between each terminal pair and a longitudinally adjacent terminal pair.

An electrical connector includes an insulating body, a first terminal module, and a second terminal module. The first terminal module includes a first insulating block and a first conductive terminal. The first conductive terminal includes a first mating portion. The second terminal module includes a second insulating block and a second conductive terminal. The second conductive terminal includes a second mating portion. The first conductive terminal includes a supporting portion exposed from the first insulating block. The electrical connector further includes a supporting block located behind the supporting portion along a mating direction and abutting against the supporting portion. The present disclosure improves the structural reliability of the electrical connector and facilitates miniaturization of the electrical connector.

An electrical connection base providing support for heavy expansion cards includes a pedestal and a supporting element. A socket is defined on the pedestal. The supporting element includes installation and support portion. A through hole is defined on the installation portion, which is portion set outside the pedestal, the pedestal entering the through hole. The support portion has a first slot, and the first slot runs through the end of the support portion away from the installation portion. The portion of the expansion card or other element plugged into the socket and outside the pedestal is inserted into the first slot. The groove wall of the first slot is in contact with the element, the support portion thereby supports the card or element and prevents strain and deformation.
