ABSTRACT:
A smart card connector with a card slot (10) for receiving a smart card includes a plurality of data contact (12) located in a housing consisting of a molded housing base (4) and a molded housing cover (6). The housing base (4) is intended to be mounted on a printed circuit board and includes integrally molded mounting posts (58, 60). Latching mounting post (60) includes an inclined lead-in surface (64) and a perpendicular latching surface (62) which engages the bottom of the printed circuit board to latch the smart card connector to the printed circuit board. The other latching post (58) includes an inclined lead-in surface 68 and an inclined upwardly facing surface (66) which can engage the printed circuit board anywhere along its length to engage a printed circuit board having a thickness which is either less than or greater than its nominal value.
