Abstract:
An electrical connector comprising:an insulative housing defining a slot adapted to receive a circuit board; conductive contacts retained in the housing for being electrically engageable with the circuit board; a relatively resilient retention arm extending from the housing and being deflectable from an initial position to a final position, the retention arm having an inner surface adapted to face the circuit board, a latch projection extending from the inner surface for engaging a notch of the circuit board when the retention arm is in the initial position; a relatively rigid stop arm extending from the housing and substantially opposing the resilient arm, a gap being formed between the retention arm and the stop arm for allowing the deflection of the retention arm, said stop arm serves to limit the deflection of said retention arm; and wherein said retention arm and said stop arm are integrally formed with said housing as a one-piece construction.
