Abstract:
1. A card edge connector assembly, comprising: an electronic card defining a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, and a plurality of conductive pads along a mating end thereof; a card edge connector comprising a longitudinal base and a plurality of conductive terminals retained in the longitudinal base; the longitudinal base defining a longitudinal slot to receive the mating end, the conductive terminals defining elastic contacting portions exposed to the longitudinal slot and connecting portions along a mounting surface of the base, the longitudinal slot being defined with an upper inner surface and a lower inner surface inside therein; wherein the first surface of the electronic card is flush with the upper inner surface of the slot and the second surface of the electronic card projects from lower inner surface of the slot to the mounting surface of the base under a condition that the electronic card is inserted into the longitudinal slot; wherein the longitudinal slot defines an upper wall and a lower wall located on both sides thereof, the upper inner surface and the upper surface are located on both sides of the upper wall, and the lower inner surface and the lower surface are located on opposite sides of the lower wall, the conductive terminals are fixed to the upper and lower walls and the conductive terminals are located in the lower wall and comprise retaining portions interference retained in the lower wall.
