ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector apparatus is provided for electrically coupling a module having an end edge including a keyway and a plurality of conductive pads to a plurality of conductive traces on a mother printed circuit board. The apparatus comprises an insulative housing formed to include an elongated slot for receiving the end edge of the module, a plurality of contacts located in the slot for engaging the conductive pads on the module, and a key formed integrally with the insulative housing. The key has first and second side walls which are formed to include first and second recessed slots, respectively. The apparatus also includes an alignment clip coupled to the key. The alignment clip includes a body portion and first and second spring beams positioned in the first and second slots of the key. The first and second spring beams each have a head portion which extends outwardly from the first and second recessed slots, respectively, and beyond the first and second walls of the key to engage the keyway during insertion of the module into the elongated slot of the housing.
