Description

ABSTRACT:
A locking device is disclosed for use with an open ended, rotary cam actuated, zero insertion force edge board connector to block the card receiving slot of the connector thereby preventing any damage to contacts mounted therein by movement of a circuit board laterally with respect to the connector when the contacts are closed and, therefore, improperly positioned for such movement. The locking device also ensures proper operation of the ZIF connector by preventing closure of the terminals onto an improperly positioned circuit board. The two piece construction of the subject locking device makes it easier to manufacture and far less prone to breakage than previously known similar devices.
