ABSTRACT:
A retainer for a card edge connector comprises a dielectric body comprising an elongate cavity defined therein for receiving a daughter board, and an L-shaped actuator arm outwardly extending from the dielectric body. A pair of pressing plates upwardly extends from the side walls proximate one end of the body. Two pairs of locking latches downwardly extend from the side walls proximate opposite ends of the body. A slot is formed in each side wall for providing additional resiliency to the side walls thereby obviating the possibility of damaging of the body during assembly. When the pressing plates are actuated by a manual external force, each pair of locking latches are outwardly displaced away from each other to downwardly assemble the retainer to the connector. A cylindrical post is formed on the actuator arm for engaging with a notch formed in a daughter board inserted in the connector thereby retaining the daughter board in position. To remove the inserted daughter board, the actuator arm is rearwardly displaced by an external force to disengage the post from the notch of the daughter board.
