ABSTRACT:
A card edge connector for receiving and retaining a card edge of a complementary card includes an upper housing and a lower housing each of which defines a central slot therein and the two central slots are in alignment with each other for receiving the card edge of the complementary card. A plurality of contacts each of which includes an upper portion and a lower portion are received in the upper and lower housings so that the upper portion of each contact is slidably received in the upper housing and the lower portion of each contact is fixed in the lower housing. A lever mechanism is pivotally engaged with the lower housing and firmly engaged with the upper housing so that when the lever mechanism is operated to raise the upper housing apart from the lower housing a predetermined distance, the card edge of the complementary card can be inserted into the aligned slots of the two housings with a substantially zero insertion force, and when the lever mechanism is operated to lower the upper housing to contact the lower housing, the upper portions of the contacts will abut against the card edge of the complementary card.
