Card edge connector assembly

摘要

This invention prevents lowering of working efficiency and an abnormal deformation, a breakage and the like of conductive terminals upon coupling a printed circuit base plate to a card edge connector in a card edge connector assembly. When a card edge connector (10) is inserted into an mouth (4) in a base plate holder (1), sliding edge portions (27) ride on ramp faces (5a) on ribs (5) to pivot a pair of inner housings (20). Then, contacting portions (22a) of first terminals (22) engage with second terminals on opposite sides of a printed circuit base plate (2). The printed circuit base plate (2) enters smoothly between the contacting portions (22a) without causing an elastic deformation in the portions (22a) and gouging the plate (22) due to their contact.
