ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is disclosed for making electrical connections to printed circuit boards. The electrical connector contains a latch apparatus for securing the printed circuit board to the connector. The latch apparatus is comprised of two latches which cooperate with slots disposed on opposite edges of the printed circuit board to the connector. The separate latches are mechanically connected together by a bail member. Release of the latch is accomplished rather easily without the exertion of any harmful forces parallel to the printed circuit board, which may be harmful to another printed circuit board to which the connector may be fastened. The latch is released by inserting a flathead screwdriver into an opening defined by the bail member and the rear wall of the connector housing. Slightly turning the screwdriver in either direction will release the latch.
