Usage Note
Ranura refers to a narrow cut or channel in a surface — the slot in a screw head, a coin slot, or an expansion slot on a motherboard. In computing it is the standard term for an expansion or memory slot (ranura PCI, ranura SIM). Do not confuse it with ranúnculo (buttercup), which is unrelated despite the similar start.
Examples
"Inserta la tarjeta en la ranura."
Natural Translation
Insert the card into the slot.
