Abstract
In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a connector component is provided. The connector component includes a first connector portion comprising a plurality of contacts to couple with a printed circuit board, and a second connector portion comprising a plurality of contacts to couple with an M.2 form factor module. The second connector portion is to receive the M.2 form factor module in an upright orientation such that neither a front surface nor a rear surface of the M.2 form factor module substantially faces the printed circuit board. In addition, the second connector portion is to retain the M.2 form factor module in the upright orientation without a retention mechanism external to the connector component.
