ABSTRACT:
A board to board electrical connector for electrically connecting a first substrate to a second substrate on which the electrical connector is mounted, comprises an insulated housing and a pair of actuators. The insulated housing further includes an elongated slot and a pair of receiving sections for receipt of the first substrate wherein each receiving section consists of a first cavity for pivotably receiving an actuator therein, a second cavity for clamping a lateral edge of the inserted first substrate therebetween to restrict the first substrate from moving along a first direction, and a partition for restricting the first substrate from moving along a second direction. The actuator includes a locking portion capable of extending through an indent defined on the partition to latch with a corresponding notch of the first substrate received within the second cavity thereby restricting the first substrate from moving along a third direction. Therefore, the inserted first substrate can be firmly retained within the connector in three-dimensional directions to avoid an electrical disengagement or a poor electrical engagement between the connector and the first substrate.
