ABSTRACT:
A memory module socket requires a reduced insertion force because a notch engager on a levered handle engages a notch on the memory module and applies downward pressure. The notch engager is forced downward as the levered handle pivots about an axis, causing the downward force to be applied to the notch on a memory module, forcing the memory module into a memory module socket on an extender card that plugs into a memory module socket on a personal computer motherboard. An ejector arm is pushed downward by the levered handle during removal. An ejector foot inside the memory module socket is pivoted upward around an ejector pivot when the ejector arm is pushed downward. The upward pivoting ejector foot pushes upward on the inserted edge of the memory module, forcing the memory module out of the memory module socket. Both ejection and insertion forces can be reduced.
