ABSTRACT:
A system for locking a daughter board (100) in the header (10) of a mother board (14) without involving the daughter board connector (110). A pair of latch members (50) are disposed within latch-receiving cavities (34) of the header at each end and include latching projections that pass through notches (126) along side edges (124) of the daughter board for latching. Pivoting of the latch members (50) occurs by the daughter board (100) pushing on ejector feet (62) to pivot the latch members about cylindrical bosses (66) within cylindrical seats (36) along side walls (40) of cavities (34). Embossments (70) cooperate with detents (38,42) in cavity side walls (40) to retain the latch members in either the open or closed positions. Protruding actuating sections (58) permit latch member pivoting to unlatch from the daughter board, with ejector feet (62) initiating board removal movement.
