ABSTRACT:
Edge connector for a circuit board has stamped and formed latch members at each end of the connector housing. The circuit board extends at an acute angle from the board receiving face of the housing when the board is in its fully inserted functional position. Each latch member is U-shaped and has one arm which has a shoulder. The shoulders overlap side edge portions of the board and are directed towards the board receiving face. The housing has internal support members which are against the bight portions of the U-shaped latch members thereby to enhance the board retaining effect of the latch members. Each latch member has a convex camming surface along which the edge of the board moves when the board is pivoted from an initial insertion position to its functional position.
