ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes an elongated insulative housing defining a central slot to receive a module therein. A plurality of contacts are provided by two sides of the central slot for mechanical and electrical engagement with the corresponding circuit pads on the module. A pair of platforms are provided adjacent two opposite ends of the housing. A pair of latch devices are provided at two opposite ends of the housing wherein each latch device includes a plastic member and a metal member. The plastic member integrally extends forward from the housing with a locking head proximate the distal free end thereof. The metal member includes a horizontal plate interferentially received within the corresponding platform, and a vertical plate closely positioned by the outer side of the plastic member. A horizontal bend extends inward from a lower edge of the vertical plate with an upward extending tag so as to not only reinforce the vertical plate but also link up the vertical plate and the plastic member together, allowing for co-lateral movement of the plastic member and the vertical plate. A pair of wings extend from a middle portion of two outermost ends of the housing to provide a stopper wall for preventing over-lateral movement of the plastic member and the associated vertical plate, while still leaving a significant space by two opposite ends of the main body of the housing for allowing other electrical components to be mounted on the PC board thereabouts.
