Disclosed is a card edge connector 10 which has a pivoting latching mechanism that has a pair of parallel fingers 70, 71 that direct inward transverse forces on the opposed sides of the printed wiring board 23 to secure it in the connector. The connector also includes a plate 94 on each of the contact elements which prevents overstressing of the arcuate element 86 of the contact. The plate also includes a longitudinal projection 96 and an opposed longitudinal recess 98 so that the contact elements resist axial forces. <IMAGE> |
