摘要

A miniature card docking connector which includes an interface connector and a frame section which are mounted on a printed circuit board. The frame is formed to partially enclose the interface connector and a miniature card. The frame includes a resilient latch mechanism for securing the miniature card in place within the frame, and a plurality of pilot retainers with latches disposed thereon for initially locating the frame on the printed circuit board. The latch mechanism may be formed as part of the frame or as a seperate piece. Integral, threaded nut portions are also provided in the frame to facilitate more permanent connection of the frame to the printed circuit board by means such as bolts.
