Card edge connector having latches

摘要

A card edge connector for electrically connecting a circuit card to a mother board includes an insulative housing having an elongated base and a pair of supporting arms extending perpendicularly from opposite lateral ends of the base, a number of conductive terminals, and a pair of latch members disposed at free ends of the pair of supporting arms. Each latch member has a latch tab for bearing against an upper surface of the circuit card and reliably locking the circuit card. The base defines an elongated slot along a longitudinal direction thereof and a number of passageways disposed by two sides of the slot for receiving the conductive terminals therein. Each terminal extends into the slot for engagement with the inserted circuit card.
