ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a generally U-shaped connector housing, which has two parallel side walls. Each of the side walls is formed with an integral projection, which engages a notch in a circuit board that is inserted into the connector. Two unitary reinforcing members are secured to the side walls, respectively. Each of the unitary reinforcing members has an elongated abutment plate overlying a respective one of the side walls to reinforce the side walls, two contact portions and a stop element, which is located between the contact portions. When inserted into or disengaged from the connector, the circuit board slides over the projections of the side walls, thereby permitting flexing of the side walls and movement of the stop element relative to the contact portions. Upon contact of the stop element with either of the contact portions, the side walls cannot continue to flex. Accordingly, excessive flexure and breakage of the side walls can be prevented.
