MINIATURE CARD DOCKING CONNECTOR

摘要

A miniature card docking connector which includes an interface connector (8), and a frame section (34) mounted on a printed circuit board (36) and formed to partially enclose the interface connector (8) and a miniature card (32). The frame (34) includes a resilient latch mechanism (40) for securing the miniature card (32) in place within the frame (34), and a plurality of pilot retainers (148) with latches (150) disposed thereon for initially locating the frame (34) on the printed circuit board (36). The latch mechanism (40) may be formed as part of the frame (34) or as a seperate piece. Integral, threaded nut portions (152) are also provided in the frame (34) to facilitate more permanent connection of the frame (34) to the printed circuit board (36) by means such as bolts.
