ABSTRACT:
A connector for an edge card includes a card slot having a plurality of contact terminals disposed in a predetermined spacing. The connector also includes two latch/eject members pivotally mounted to the connector at the ends thereof in alignment with the connector card slot. The latch/eject members include an alignment surface positioned opposite the end edges of an edge card during insertion and the alignment surfaces are further positioned on the latch/eject members above an ejection surface such that the contact area between the connector housing terminals and the circuit card lies between the ejection and alignment surfaces. The alignment surface is a surface of potential revolution.
