Abstract
In a particular embodiment, a connector includes a connector module and a set of conductive connectors coupled to the connector module. The set of conductive connectors is configured to electrically couple to a set of contacts of a memory module. The connector also includes a ground contact coupled to the connector module. The ground contact is configured to be coupled to a ground of the memory module and to a conductive shroud.
Claims18
A connector comprising:
- a connector module;
- a set of conductive connectors coupled to the connector module, the set of conductive connectors configured to electrically couple to a set of contacts of a memory module;
- and
- a ground contact coupled to the connector module, wherein the ground contact is configured to be coupled to a ground pad of the memory module via pressure applied by a conductive shroud.

A connector comprising:
- a connector module;
- a carrier configured to receive a memory module, the carrier including a living hinge;
- and
- a conductive connector coupled to the connector module, the conductive connector configured to provide a solderless connection to a contact of the memory module.
1 more element
A connector comprising:
- a connector module;
- a carrier configured to receive a memory module;
- and
- a conductive connector coupled to the connector module, the conductive connector configured to provide a solderless connection to a contact of the memory module wherein, when the carrier has received the memory module and is inserted into a conductive shroud, a clamping force applied by the conductive shroud causes the conductive connector to be in contact with the contact of the memory module.
