Patent ID: 7393244

Claim:
An apparatus for supporting at least one electrical connector body, the apparatus comprising: a connector housing mountable to a printed circuit board (PCB), the connector housing including; at least one base member having a first end to receive a memory module and an opposite second end for attachment to the PCB, the base member being a single unitary indivisible unit; at least one support post each spaced apart from one another and extending directly from the second end of the at least one base member, the support posts inserted through a first side of the PCB into one or more clearance holes in the PCB configured to receive the one or more support posts, the one or more support posts extending in a same plane as the memory module; and a fixing member on an opposite second side of the PCB configured to receive the one or more support posts and fixedly clamp the PCB between the base member and the fixing member, wherein the memory module is substantially perpendicular to PCB and when a lateral force is applied to the connector body, the support posts act as a support and transfers the lateral force to the PCB, thereby reducing rotation of the connector body about an interface of a base of each connector body connected to the PCB.
