ABSTRACT:
A socket comprising a housing (10) defines an upwardly open slot (12) for receiving an edge portion of a circuit card (6). A plurality of contacts (16) extend into the slot for electrically engaging respective contact pads on the circuit card, and leads (17) of the contacts extend to an exterior of the housing for electrically engaging respective circuit traces on a substrate. A resilient beam (20) connected to the housing has a free end (24) which is normally disposed outwardly of a plane of the circuit card which is received in the slot. The free end has a projection (26) which is dimensioned for reception in an aperture (2) in the circuit card and is aligned with the aperture when the circuit card is disposed in the socket. A lock lever (50) is movable on the housing between lock and unlock positions. The lock lever has a lock arm (60) which resiliently deflects the beam when the lock lever is in the lock position, whereby the projection is moved inwardly through the plane of the circuit card and into the aperture to lock the circuit card in the socket.
