Memory modules and tester

Abstract

A levered handle has an elongated slot that allows the levered handle to both slide and pivot over a pivot axis. The levered handle is slid over the pivot axis to allow a notch engager to engage a notch on a memory module. Then the notch engager is forced downward as the levered handle pivots upward about the pivot axis, causing a downward force to be applied to the notch on the memory module. This forces the memory module into a memory module socket. The memory module socket requires a reduced insertion force because the notch engager on the levered handle engages the notch on the memory module and applies downward pressure. A levered handle without the elongated slot can slide along the pivot axis perpendicular to the memory module to engage the notch. Both ejection and insertion forces can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a test slot for a memory module, in particular to a test slot for implementing a lever handle rotating device to assist the insertion of a memory module. [0002] This application is a common stand-by add-on for use with a computer motherboard test slot having a lever handle turning mechanism and pushing the memory module into the riser card and activating the release to remove the memory module, filed on December 23, 2004 U.S. Ed. No. 10 / 905,276. Background technique [0003] Memory modules such as DIMMS (dual-inline memory modules) 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. [0004] The expansion card fits into a memory module socket on a...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

When a technician or operator has to manually insert the memory module into the test slot, this insertion force can create repetitive stress injuries, or possibly damage the memory slot, expansion card, or motherboard tester
