ABSTRACT:
An edge connector receptacle for electrically coupling pairs of printed circuit boards in parallel spaced apart relation includes a dielectric housing having a forward face formed with a pair of slots for receiving edges of the boards. The housing comprises integrally formed contact support means adapted with recesses for supporting a plurality of generally U-shaped contact members in communication between the slots. The recesses are open to a rear wall of the housing and have inner surfaces which taper to a relatively narrow cross-section toward the forward face of the housing. Shoulders formed at the bight portion of each contact cooperate with the tapered surfaces to limit movement of the contact in the direction of forward housing face. Pockets formed within the recesses cooperate with shoulder portions projecting from the end of each contact leg such that the ends of the contacts are captured and movement of the contact in the direction of the rear of the housing is prevented.
