ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes an elongate housing and a latching device attached to each end thereof. The latching device includes a plastic retaining member integrally formed with the housing and a metal release member assembled to the retaining member. A daughter board engages with a slot defined in the housing and is rotated downward whereby resilient portions of the retaining member move outward until the daughter board is fully received in the slot. To disengage the daughter board from the connector an outward force is exerted on release pads of the release member. The resilient portions are moved outward to abut against corresponding first stoppers formed on the retaining member. At this position, an embossment extending from each retaining member will abut against a corresponding second stopper of the release member. The provision of the stoppers effectively prevents breakage of the resilient portions while disengaging a daughter board from the connector.
