Embodiment Construction

[0044] The invention relates to an improvement of a memory module slot. The following description is to enable one skilled in the art to make and practice the invention as described in the context of a particular application and its requirements. Obviously, those skilled in the art will be able to make various modifications to the preferred embodiment, and the basic principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments, and a wider scope consistent with this principle is included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0045] The present inventors have realized that the principle of leverage is used to increase the force exerted by the user on the memory module during the insertion process. Instead of simply retaining the memory module in the slot after insertion, as the retention clips do, the lever handle applies downward pressure on the memory module before the memory module i...

Abstract

Since the notch mesher on the lever handle engages with the notch on the memory module and applies downward pressure, the memory module slot needs to be reduced in force. As the lever handle rotates around the axis the notch mesher is forced to move downwards, causing the notch on the memory module to be applied downward pressure so that the memory module is inserted into the memory module slot on the expansion card on the motherboard of the personal computer. The lever handle releaser arm is pushed downwards during the removal of the memory module. When the releaser arm is pushed downwards, the bottom of the releaser in the memory module slot rotates upward around the releaser pivot. The bottom of the up-turning releaser pushes upwards the front where the memory module is inserted to force the memory module to eject from the memory module slot. Both release and insertion forces can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a memory module test slot, and more particularly to a memory module test slot with a lever handle that facilitates module insertion. Background technique [0002] Memory modules such as DIMMS have been widely used in various systems such as personal computers (PCs). As manufacturers of memory modules are increasingly less profitable, manufacturing costs must also be reduced. Test costs can be reduced by testing memory modules on low-cost modified computer motherboards rather than expensive electronic assembly testers. [0003] The expansion card fits into a memory module socket on a standard PC motherboard, with the top of the card fitted with another memory module socket while the bottom of the card is inserted into the memory module socket on the motherboard. The expansion card effectively lifts the open memory module socket up from the motherboard surface for easier access. [0004] figure 1 Shown is a memory mod...
