ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly includes a plug received in a slot defined in a receptacle which is mounted to a PC board by means of boardlocks received in passageways thereof. Each boardlock includes a main body having a plate perpendicularly extending from a bottom of an intermediate portion thereof for being soldered to the PC board. A pair of engaging wings perpendicularly project from opposite sides of the intermediate portion of the main body into the slot for engaging with apertures defined in side portions of the plug to firmly secure the plug therein. One distal end of the main body is bent to perpendicularly extend therefrom, and the other distal end of the main body is curved whereby a tail end thereof projects in a direction parallel to the main body. Thus, a force acting on the plate is effectively absorbed by the distal ends of the boardlock when the plug is withdrawn from the receptacle.
