ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprises an elongate insulative housing and three board locks. Each board lock comprises a main body, a cutout defined in the main body, engaging teeth formed on opposite inner surfaces of the cutout, and a pair of resilient legs extending downward from the main body. Slots are defined in the housing for receiving the corresponding board locks therein. Each slot is formed having tapered inner walls and an engaging projection extending downward from the housing into a center of the slot. When the board lock is inserted into the corresponding slot, the tapered inner walls of the slot will guide the cutout of the board lock toward the engaging projection thereby reducing the force required to insert the board lock into the slot. The engaging projection is shaped to fittingly engage with the engaging teeth formed on the board lock, thus, the board lock is firmly secured thereto.
