Boardlock for an electrical connector

摘要

A boardlock for an electrical connector comprises a base adapted for being attached to a housing of the electrical connector, and a latch extending from the base. The latch forms first and second barbs extending from opposite edges proximate a free end thereof. The first and second barbs are respectively bent along different lines which are slightly slanted relative to a longitudinal direction of the latch and extend toward the free end of the latch whereby the first barb extends in a direction that is not parallel to the direction that the second barb extends in. An elongate aperture is formed between the first and second barbs.
