Claim:
A card edge connector comprising: a longitudinal insulative housing having a central slot extending along a longitudinal direction for insertion of a memory module and at least one tower portion extending upwardly therefrom, the tower portion comprising a pair of outer walls extending along a height direction and a receiving slot formed between the outer walls, each outer wall defining a ladder with a circular hole formed therein; a plurality of contacts retained in the insulative housing for mating with the memory module; and an ejector assembled to the tower portion and being rotatable inwardly or outwardly relative to the tower portion for latching the memory module into the central slot or ejecting the memory module out of the central slot, the ejector having a pair of spindles formed at two sides thereof in a transverse direction and being rotatablely received in the respective circular holes, and a pair of standoffs formed at the two sides thereof; wherein each standoff defines a horizontal surface abutting against a corresponding horizontal resisting surface formed on the ladder so as to make centers of the spindle of the ejector and the circular hole of the tower portion overlap when the ejector rotates inwardly.
