Abstract

A DIMM connector (10) includes an elongated insulative housing (12) with a central slot (14) for receiving a DIMM (100) therein wherein two rows of contacts are positioned by two sides of the slot (14). A pair of cavities (22) are provided at two opposite ends of the housing (12) for receiving a pair of corresponding latch/eject members (70) therein. Rotation restriction means for limiting the rotation of the latch/eject member (70) with regard to the housing (12), includes a first engagement surface (85) provided on the eject portion (78) of the latch/eject member (70) and a second engagement surface (42) provided on the housing (12). A reinforcement wall (32) is transversely provided of the housing (12) and substantially between two side walls (24), but does not obstruct the assembling of the latch/eject member (70) into the cavity (22) in the housing (12).
