ABSTRACT:
A slanted card edge connector (10) includes an insulative housing (12) defining a central slot (14) for receiving a card therein wherein two rows of passageways (30, 32) are disposed by two sides of the central slot (14) for respectively receiving the corresponding contacts (34, 36) therein. The lower row contacts (36) are installed within the corresponding passageways (32) from the front side of the housing (12), and the upper row contacts (34) are installed within the corresponding passageways (30) from the rear side, respectively. Three wedge like supports (20) are provided under two opposite ends and the middle portion (22) of the housing (12) so as to result in the central slot (14) extending upward and forward along a predetermined upward angle, thus resulting in a significant distance between the surface of the PC board (100), on which the connector (10) is seated, and the corresponding lower row passageway (32). In comparison with the upper row passageway (30), the lower row passageway (32) further includes an extending slit (66) intermediating between the front opening (62) and the contact channel (64) so that the contact section (68) of the lower row contact (36) can be inserted into the corresponding lower row passageway (32) from the front side under the condition that the contact section (68) of the contact (36) may pass the front opening (62), the slit (66) and the contact channel (64). Then, eventually the contact section (68) of the lower row contact (36) can extend into the central slot (14) with a preloaded status.
