Structure of slanted DIMM connector for dense arrangement

A method for mounting at least two slanted type card edge connectors closely side by side on a PC board while allowing of removing anyone connector thereof without interference occurring thereabout, the steps comprising:

• providing at least two slanted card connectors mutually closely side by side mounted on the PC board in a front-to-end direction wherein each said connector has an elongated housing including a pair of raised towers at two opposite ends, and a support block is integrally formed under each said tower with a cut-off about a front bottom portion of the tower;
• arranging an outermost upper edge of the tower of the front connector not to project over, in a vertical direction, an edge of said cut-off of the rear connector but to project over, in said vertical direction, a front edge of the corresponding support block;
• and
• vertically upward removing the rear connector from the PC board without interference between an upper portion of said raised tower of the front connector and the front bottom portion of the rear connector wherein the support block of the rear connector passes aside the outermost edge of the tower of the front connector during upward movement of the rear connector with regard to the front connector.

A slanted type connector comprising:

• an elongated insulative housing having a base plane angular with a PC board on which the connector is mounted;
• at least one raised tower positioned adjacent one end of the housing and extending along a same angular direction with the housing;
• at least a support block extending in both forward and rearward directions for providing an enlarged standing area of the housing;
• an offset surface, which is substantially recessed from a front edge of said support block, aligned with and formed on a lower portion of the tower whereby two of said slanted connectors are side by side, in a front-to-end direction, closely mounted on a PC board with the an outermost edge of the tower of the front connector projecting not over the offset surface of the rear connector in a vertical direction but over the front edge of said corresponding support block of the rear connector in said vertical direction thus allowing the rear connector to be removed from the PC board for repairing without removing the front connector.
