ABSTRACT:
A card edge connector (10) includes an insulative elongated housing (12) having a central slot (14) for receiving the corresponding card (100) and having at least one ejector (20) at its longitudinal end. The ejector (20) comprises a kicker (32) at the bottom for engagement with the bottom edge of the card (100) received within the connector (10). The ejector (20) further includes a locking projection (30) horizontally and inwardly projecting toward the central slot (14) for engagement within a notch (104) of the inserted card (100). A pair of retention bars (22) or restraint devices for limiting lateral movement of the inserted card with regard to housing (12), vertically extend by two sides of the central slot (14) adjacent the ejector (20). The pair of retention bars (22) extend over the locking projection (30) of the ejector (20) in the vertical direction for substantially protectively covering the locking projection (30) in the vertical and/or horizontal direction. Moreover, the action region of the retention bars' (22) against the card (100) is located above the notch (104) thereof and the corresponding locking projection (30). Therefore, the retention effect is more balanced in comparison with that in the parent application, of which the connector has the locking projection engaging the notch of the card above the action region of the retention bars.
