ABSTRACT:
An edge connector includes a shell having two symmetrical rows of vertical slots. Each of the vertical slots is formed of an upper space and a lower space linked together to hold a metal contact spring plate and a conductor clamp. The metal contact spring plate includes a bent portion in the middle and disposed between the upper and lower spaces, a projecting strip stopped above the lower space, a curved clamping portion at one end received in the upper space for making an electric contact with an external connector, a wedge portion at an opposite end vertically received in the lower space and terminating in a sloping tail. The conductor clamp has a first bent portion and a second bent portion stopped within the lower space at two opposite locations, a rear end disposed over a front end thereof and stopped against the wedge portion of the metal contact spring plate for clamping a conductor against the metal contact spring plate.
