Abstract
An embodiment of a connector housing for a circuit board may include a connector body to receive the circuit board, and a relaxation mechanism mechanically coupled to the connector body to relax stress on the connector housing and maintain the circuit board received in the connector body under a load which exceeds a load threshold. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
Claims20
A connector housing for a circuit board, comprising:
- a connector body to receive the circuit board;
- and
- a relaxation mechanism mechanically coupled to the connector body to relax stress on the connector housing and maintain the circuit board received in the connector body under a load which exceeds a load threshold.
A connector for a memory card, comprising:
- a connector housing including an elongated slot to receive the memory card, the connector housing including:
- a first set of opposed grooves at a first end of the elongated slot, wherein a lengthwise centerline of the first set of opposed grooves is transverse to a lengthwise centerline of the elongated slot, and
- a second set of opposed grooves at a second end of the elongated slot opposite to the first end wherein a lengthwise centerline of the second set of opposed grooves is transverse to the lengthwise centerline of the elongated slot;
- a first latch received within the first set of opposed grooves of the connector housing;
- and
- a second latch received within the second set of opposed grooves of the connector housing.

A connector housing for a circuit board substrate, comprising:
- a first housing portion including an elongated slot to receive the circuit board substrate;
- a second housing portion mechanically coupled to the first housing portion at an end of the elongated slot, the second housing portion including a first groove to receive a latch, wherein a lengthwise centerline of the first groove is transverse to a lengthwise centerline of the elongated slot;
- and
- a third housing portion mechanically coupled to the first housing portion at an end of the elongated slot and opposed to the second housing portion, the third housing portion including a second groove to receive the latch, wherein a lengthwise centerline of the second groove is aligned to the lengthwise centerline of the first groove and the second groove is directly opposed to the first groove.
