ABSTRACT:
A card edge connector (10) includes an elongated housing (12) defining a central slot (14) for receiving the corresponding card therein and a plurality of passageways (16) by two sides of the central slot (14). A plurality of contacts (22) are received within the corresponding passageways (16), respectively. Each of the contacts (24) includes a horizontal base (26), from which two beams (27, 28) respectively extend upwardly therefrom for mutually cooperative transmitting high speed signals, and a third beam (32) extends upward proximate the outermost end (34) of the base (26) for guidance and retention of the contact (24) with regard to the housing (12). A retention section (42) is positioned at the innermost end (43) of the base (26). Correspondingly, an retention wall (20) is formed within each passageway (16) for guidable and interferential engagement with the third beam (32) of the corresponding contact (24) in the passageway (16).
