ABSTRACT:
A socket connector (1) includes an insulative housing (10) having a central slot (12) therein along its lengthwise direction for receiving a lower edge portion (101) of a daughter board (100) therein. A plurality of passageways (14, 16) are arranged staggered on two sides along the slot (12) for receiving the upper row contacts (60) and the lower row contacts (80) therein for electrical engagement with the corresponding circuit traces (108) on two sides of the daughter board (100). Two arms (20) respectively extend forwardly from two ends of the housing (10) and each arm (20) thereon forms a platform (22) for allowing the inserted daughter board (100) to sit thereon. A metal latch (40) including a generally U-shaped body (46) and a retention blade (44) separately and respectively independently extend from a main base (42) so that the latch (40) can be reliably securely retained horizontally within each arm (20) of the housing (10) wherein the hook (54) of the latch (40) upwardly extends out of the platform (22) for engagement with the daughter board (100) thereon, and the lever (56) of the latch (40) extends forwardly out of the front end surface (21) of the arm (20) for easy manually operative deflection.
