STRADDLE CARD EDGE CONNECTOR

摘要

A card edge connector includes an elongated housing and a number of contacts retained in the housing. Each contact has a retaining portion retained in the housing, a contact portion forwardly extending from a front end of the retaining portion and a connecting portion backwardly extending from a rear end of the retaining portion. The contacts are arranged in two rows and formed with a first receiving space between two rows of contact portions to receive a module and a second receiving space between two rows of connecting portions to receive a mother board. The first receiving space defines a first centre line along an insertion direction of the module. The second receiving space defines a second centre line which is parallel to the first centre line and offset to the first centre line along an up to down direction perpendicular to the insertion direction.
