Abstract
In the production of certain components, the components must pass through an existing treating device with limited clearance. This limited clearance will cause unwanted physical contact between the component and the existing treatment apparatus, such as a reflow oven for treating electronic components, such as an M.2 connector. In such a situation, it will be necessary to practice a method of separating the component into subassemblies or modules; separately treating the subassemblies or modules in the reflow oven; and then reassembling the subassemblies and modules after the reflow treatment.

An M.2 connector comprising:
- an M.2 connector base, the M.2 connector base further comprising a pair of apertures, into which apertures can be fitted a pair of pivots;
- a pair of pivots;
- and
- a pair of latches, each of said pair of latches structured so as to be received on opposite ends of the M.2 base, each of the pair of latches defining an aperture therein, each of the apertures being positioned on the latch so as to receive one of the pair of pivots to removably couple the latch to the M.2 connector base;
- whereby the pair of latches being pivotably mounted on the M.2 connector base.
An M.2 connector comprising:
- a first subassembly, the first subassembly comprising an M.2 connector base and a printed circuit board upon which the M.2 connector base is mounted;
- a second subassembly, the second subassembly comprising a one-part latch;
- the one-part latch comprising a longitudinal portion and two depending legs unitary with and extending from the longitudinal portion, whereby the longitudinal portion and the two depending legs are configured to all rotate in an identical direction relative to the M.2 connector base and the printed circuit board;
- each of the first and the second subassemblies being heat treated before the first and second subassemblies are connected to each other.
