<p>An electrical connector (10) is provided for straddle mounting at an edge of a circuit board. The connector includes a dielectric housing (12) defining a slot (32) for receiving the edge of the board. A plurality of terminals (18) are mounted on the housing (12) and include contact portions (68) for connection to the circuit traces on the board. A flexible gripping arm (38) is integral with the housing (12) at one side (36) of the slot (32) for yieldably engaging the circuit board upon insertion of the board into the slot. A ground tab (58) extends from a shielding plate (46) on the mating face (14) of the connector (10) through the housing (12) adjacent to the slot (32) for contacting a ground pad on the circuit board. <IMAGE></p> |
