ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector adapted to be mounted to a mother board, includes a casing defining a slot therein for receiving a daughter board and a plurality of pin pairs arranged in the slot for electrically engaging with the daughter board. The casing has a fixed member fixed in the slot and a switch key selectively fit into the slot at two locations corresponding to a 3.3V PCI connector and a 5V PCI connector. Thus, the connector may be selectively configured to be either a 3.3V PCI connector or a 5V PCI connector by setting the position of the switch key. The insertion of the switch key into the slot changes the spatial relationship between a pair of pins thereby transmitting a signal to the mother board for selecting the electrical voltage supplied to the connector corresponding to the configuration of the connector.
