 Edge connector - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An edge connector is the portion of a printed circuit board consisting of traces leading to the edge of the board that are intended to plug into an edge connector socket.
An edge connector socket, often popularly referenced simply as a "slot", is any type of female electrical connector for use with printed circuit boards having matching edge connectors.
The edge connector is a money-saving device because it only requires a single female connector, and they also tend to be fairly robust.

 Pen Computing Magazine: Visor Edge
Dubbed the Edge Connector (appropriately, since it's technically a card-edge connector), the enhanced expansion port is revealed by removing the screen cover.
To put it succinctly, the Edge is longer, the V is wider (by a hair, unless you remove the Edge's stylus), and when compared to the Edge with its cover on, the Palm V is thinner; add the Palm V's included leather flap, and the Edge is thinner.
As for the height issue, the Edge's hinge is the significant factor; without that, we're looking at three-sixteenths of an inch longer than the V. The screen is the same size, but it is not of the same quality.

Spread the wires back enough to fit the connector, then push them down between the odd-numbered pins, and push them slightly into the sharp slots in the even numbered pins (as shown in the photo) using a small needle-nose pliers or screwdriver.
Squeezing the connector like this forces the wires down into the sharp slots in the backs of the pins, cutting through the plastic insulation and making firm electrical contacts between the wires and the pins.
Here is the completed SD floppy connector, with label attached showing which way to insert the SD card, and with a guide shim (cut from a plastic soda pop bottle) folded over and inserted to help guide the SD card into the proper pins.

 Re: Routing to edge connector - OrCAD Community
I have routed the components on the board and need to route to the edge connector, which is not a component on the schematic.
I actually had a connector on the schematic originally, but I couldn't find a PCB footprint that was even close (80 fingers, 40 on each side of the board).
You could certainly create the edge connector as you mention (associate copper with comp pins or even creating named copper areas for each finger to it's net) but it's a lot of extra work.

 Application Note 18 - Card-edge connector prob.
On equipment that has been in use for some time, and which may have had its card edge connectors cleaned previously using conventional cleaners, or by using an eraser, it is important to ensure that the female receptacle in which the card edge is inserted is cleaned out thoroughly.
If any type of Stabilant is used on the card edge connector without removing this accumulation of contamination, the detergency of the Stabilant will loosen the dirt and it may accumulate, in the case of vertically mounted units, at the bottom of the connector.
We would suggest that under similar circumstances, the female connector be cleaned out using isopropyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, or one of the numerous spray cleaners or other type of cleaner, to be sure that al particulate material is removed.
