ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (10) includes an insulative housing (12) defining a central slot (14) for receiving a card therein. A plurality of contacts (16) are disposed by two sides of the central slot (14) for engagement with the corresponding circuit pads on the card. A floating spacer (22) is positioned on a rear portion of the housing without any latch devices fixedly fastening the spacer (22) to the housing (12). A plurality of convex bumps (25) are provided on the bottom surface (26) of the spacer (22) so that when the connector (10) is mounted to the PC board (100), the spacer (22) may generally seated on the PC board (100) due to gravity thereof, and the convex bumps (25) thereof provide a proper space between the spacer (22) and the PC board (100) for allowing the cleaning solution to escape therefrom.
