ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing having a central section defining a plurality of passageways each receiving a contact element therein and two end blocks. A latching member made of metal by means of stamping and pressing has a U-shaped structure fit over each of the end blocks. The latching member has a latching arm extending from the U-shaped structure for engaging with a mating connector. The latching member also has a second arm extending from the U-shaped structure for engaging with and retaining a circuit board. The second arm has a convex portion confronting a face of the end block and defining a gap therebetween for receiving the circuit board whereby the convex portion engages with a surface thereof. Alternatively, the second arm may extend through and engage with a hole defined in the circuit board for retaining the circuit board in the connector.
