ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (10) includes an insulative housing (12) defining a central slot (14) for receiving a module (100) therein. A plurality of contacts are disposed by two side of the central slot (14). A pair of platforms (18) are provided at two ends of the housing (12). A latch device (22) provided adjacent to each corresponding platform, includes a plastic member (24) with a locking head (48) integrally extending by the outside of said platform (18), and a metal member (26) including a resilient body (36) positioned by the outside of the plastic member (24), wherein both the resilient bodies (36) of the metal members (26) at two opposite ends of the housing (12) are substantially exposed to an exterior and commonly define the maximum lengthwise dimension of the connector (12), so that the full lengthwise dimension of the connector (10) can be reduced for miniaturization. Additionally, an engagement structure between the plastic member (24) and the metal member (26) for collaboration in releasable latching performance of the latch device (22), is disposed under the locking head (48) of the plastic member (24) and substantially in the notch (102) on the side edge of the inserted module (100) for avoiding any interference with the inserted module (100).
