Abstract:
1. A socket connector, comprising: an insulating housing having a base portion and an inserting portion protruding forward from a front face of the base portion, a front face of the inserting portion being concaved and extending rearward to the base portion to form an inserting chamber, the back face of the base portion defining a receiving groove transversely extending, two sides of a front inner wall of the receiving groove being further concaved forward to form two inserting grooves of which each front end is located at the opposite side of the inserting chamber and communicated with the inserting chamber; a plurality of conductive terminals disposed in the insulating housing, each of the conductive terminals having a contact portion at a front end thereof which projects into the inserting chamber; and a latch having a first base plate positioned vertically in the receiving groove of the insulating housing, two opposite side edges of the first base plate being bent and extending forward to form two first clamping portions slanted towards each other and inserted forward in the inserting grooves of the insulating housing, the free end of each first clamping portion being arched inward to form a buckling portion elastically projecting into the inserting chamber, two opposite outer sides of the first clamping portions protruding outward to form a pair of bumps located in the rear of the first clamping portions, the rears of the first clamping portions being close to outmost two inner sidewalls of the inserting grooves of the insulating housing with the bumps resisting against the outmost two inner sidewalls of the inserting grooves.
