ABSTRACT:
A connector has a housing formed with a cavity, with a slot extending from the cavity, adapted to receive an edge of a circuit board, and having a width substantially greater than the circuit-board width, and with a hole opening outward from the cavity and adapted to receive the wire. A conductive rocker in the cavity has a front arm extending out of the cavity through the slot, a rear arm in the cavity adjacent the hole, and a central pivot bump between the ends of the rocker. A spring in the cavity engaging the pivot pin presses the rocker laterally across the slot with the rocker front arm bearing on the strip of the board received in the slot and presses the wire received in the hole against the rocker rear arm.
