Abstract:
1. An electrical connector adapted for receiving a memory module therein, comprising: an insulating housing defining a central slot extending along a longitudinal direction with a forward opening thereof, the slot being confined by a first wall and a second wall opposite to the first wall; a plurality of first contacts located in the first wall, each having a first contacting portion projecting into the slot and a first solder portion extending outwardly; a plurality of second contacts located in the second wall, each having a second contacting portion projecting into the slot and a second solder portion extending outwardly; said electrical connector defining a mounting face via which the electrical connector is allowed to be mounted to a printed circuit board in a mounting direction which is perpendicular to said printed circuit board and is essentially defined from the first wall to the second wall; wherein the first contacting portions are located in front of the second contacting portions in a front-to-rear direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction for allowing the memory module to be slantwise inserted into the central slot initially under condition of being roughly closer to the second wall and away from the first wall, and then rotated toward the first wall in a direction essentially opposite to said mounting direction until reaching to a horizontal level.
