    摘要: Embodiments are directed towards apparatuses, methods, and systems for a connector having a housing body to couple a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) to a printed circuit board (PCB). In embodiments, the housing body includes first and second opposing ends of the connector and a first and a second latch coupled at the respective first and second opposing ends of the connector to engage the DIMM. In embodiments, the first and the second opposing ends have respective first and second heights relative to a height of the housing body to allow the DIMM to be inserted or removed at an angle when disengaged from the first and second latch. In embodiments, one or more of the latches are removably coupled to the connector and/or can be rotated into a lay-flat position to allow the DIMM to be removed at an angle. Additional embodiments may be described and claimed.
