Abstract:
1. An electronic device comprising: a circuit board that has an electrode-formed surface on which a plurality of electrodes are formed at least on one side of an edge portion of the circuit board; and a card edge connector that provides electric connection with the circuit board, the card edge connector including: each of the terminal projections includes a slider-contact portion between the contact and a tip end of the terminal projection, the slider is movable from an initial position before the circuit board is inserted into the insertion opening from the first end to an insertion completed position where an insertion of the circuit board is completed when the circuit board is inserted into the insertion opening, the slider has a support surface, when the slider is at the initial position, the slider-contact portions of the terminal projections are supported on the support surface of the slider so that the terminal projections are resiliently deformed toward the one of the insertion opening surfaces and the contacts are separated from the electrode-formed surface of the circuit board with respect to the second direction, when the slider is at the insertion completed position, the slider-contact portions are completely separated from the slider, the contacts are in contact with the electrodes, and the terminal projections are in a state of applying a spring back force of resilient deformation to the circuit board through the contacts; the slider has a plurality of grooves corresponding to the slider-contact portions of the terminal projections, and the support surface of the slider is provided by a bottom surface of each of the grooves.
