ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for printed circuit boards comprises an insulative housing having opposing end portions with an insertion face defined therebetween, and a pair of metal latching assistor members. Each end portion has a resilient latching plate extending upwardly therefrom and a similarly directed positioning post and anchor bar to either side of the plate. A protruding pin and abutment are provided respectively on the positioning post and latching plate, on a side thereof opposite from the post, for the positioning of a printed circuit board held therebetween. The U-shaped latching assistor members are disposed between the anchor bars and latching plates of respective end portions of the housing, wherein each assistor member has a first leg thereof retained within an axial groove formed in an associated anchor bar. A second leg of each assistor member, which is resiliently adjoined with the first through a central bight, has a pair of hook shaped grapnel elements that are engaged over the upper end of an associated latching plate and an inclinate tab disposed therebetween for effecting the flexure of the assistor member and plate.
