Circuit board edge connector.

摘要

A molded plastic circuit card edge connector includes two opposing rows of cantilever contact arms. The rows of contact arms are spaced apart adequately to allow insertion of a circuit board between the arms. The contact arms flex outward to provide spring pressure toward the circuit board. The contact arms include a main contact area which is dimensioned to produce a tapered entrance for receiving a circuit board. A plurality of stop ribs prevent the circuit board from going in too far while a pair of U-shaped guides serve to properly register the circuit board and guide it into place. The connector may be molded as an integral part of a printed wiring board.
