LOW PROFILE CIRCUIT BOARD CONNECTOR

摘要

An electrical connector comprises a housing, contact elements and locking members attached to the housing. The housing has a front end, a back end, a top side, a bottom side and a cavity between the top side and the bottom side. The cavity is to partially receive a circuit board therein. Each contact element is insertable into the housing along a direction from the bottom side towards the top side. Each locking member is insertable into the housing along a direction from the bottom side towards the top side. The upper and lower contact arms and the lock arm are resiliently deflectable away from the cavity to allow insertion of the circuit board into the cavity, and spring back when the circuit board is inserted into the cavity to make electrical connection to the circuit board and to lock the circuit board in the housing.
