An electrical connector for interconnecting a daughter card to a mother board comprises a dielectric housing (12) having a longitudinally elongated slot (20) and a latch cavity (28). The housing carries a plurality of contacts (22) which are engageable with contact pads on the daughter card when the daughter card is inserted into the slot in a first position and pivoted through an angle to a second position. A latch member (30) which is attached to the housing has a latch tab (32) engageable behind the daughter card to maintain the daughter card in the second position. The latch member has first and second beams (41, 42). The first beam (41) has a mounting portion (44) which is stabilized in the latch cavity (28) against longitudinal and lateral movement, and the second beam (42) has a locking tab (46) that is engaged with the housing to secure the latch member against withdrawal from the housing. |
