Socket for a printed circuit board

摘要

The present invention relates to a socket (1) for a printed board (51), which provides a housing (11) having a groove shaped insertion opening for printed board insertion; a plurality of spring connectors within said insertion opening that protrude from a pair of opposing walls that surround said insertion opening and form a line of contact points in the lengthwise direction of said insertion opening; a pair of external deformable latch arms (21) that respectively extend from said housing on both lengthwise ends of said insertion opening; and a pair of engaging parts (23) that engage said printed board at said latch arms by resisting the urging force due to a spring contact; and wherein said latch arms (21) are reinforced by a metal reinforcing member (31) that supports said latch arm from the outside.
