Abstract:
A card edge connector with an improved manner of creating a preload force on conductive elements held by a housing. The housing may include a member and an opening at a mating end. Each conductive element may have a contact portion curving inwardly relative to the opening and a tip extending from the contact portion towards the mating end. Each contact portion may form an electrical connection with an edge pad of a card to be inserted into the opening. The conductive elements may be configured to have a rest state in order to create a proper force to be exerted on the edge pads. The member may preload the conductive elements by contacting the conductive elements from a location farther from the mating end than the contact portion, which may avoid damage upon insertion of a card into the connector without the need for long tips of the conductive elements. As a result, the connector may operate at high frequencies.

Claim (Index 2):
A connector as recited in  claim 1 , wherein:\n the at least one compliant, conductive element further comprises a tip extending from the contact portion towards a mating end, a mounting end opposite the mating end, and an intermediate portion that extends between the mounting end and the contact portion; and the member presses against a surface of the intermediate portion of the at least one compliant, conductive element, the surface facing the opening.
