Abstract:
1. An electrical connector, comprising: a plastic base, which extends longitudinally and has a longitudinally extended connection slot, wherein the connection slot may be connected to a circuit board having one side formed with a notch; and an engaging member, which is disposed on one side of the plastic base and has an elastic arm, wherein: the elastic arm has a handle, a guide-in inclined surface, an engaging portion and at least one elastic member; when the circuit board is inserted into the connection slot, the one side of the circuit board presses the guide-in inclined surface to make the elastic arm elastically move outwardly and to make the at least one elastic member move elastically; when the elastic arm elastically moves back, the engaging portion engages with the notch of the circuit board and the circuit board is in an inserted state; and when the handle is moved to make the elastic arm elastically move outwardly and to disengage the engaging portion from the notch of the circuit board, the circuit board is still in the inserted state, and the at least one elastic member can stop the engaging member from elastically moving back so that the engaging portion cannot engage with the notch, wherein the engaging member elastically moves back after the circuit board is taken out.
