ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a connection portion defining two channels in an insulative body thereof for respectively receiving and electrically engaging a main board and an external circuit board and a board support portion including two support bars having inner ends fixed to opposite sides of the insulative body thereby forming a U-shaped configuration for receiving the external circuit board in a space defined between the support bars. Each of the support bars has an inner surface from which two flanges extend thereby defining a groove for receiving and retaining an edge of the external circuit board. Each of the support bars defines a slot in the inner end between two side walls for receiving a sideways projection of the insulative body therein. Fasteners secure the sideways projections of the insulative body between the corresponding side walls of the support bars. Each sideways projection is provided with a section overlapping the main board and the fasteners secure the main board to the insulative body.
