Abstract:
A card edge connector includes an insulating housing defining a mating slot, two rows of terminals and a grounding member. Each row of terminals includes grounding terminals and signal terminals. The grounding member includes a first grounding bar and a second grounding bar each defining an upper edge and a lower edge. A plurality of elastic tabs extends from the upper edge and contacting with corresponding grounding terminals. The first and second grounding sides are disposed vertically in a bottom and at an outer side of corresponding row of terminals, and extends along the longitudinal direction of the housing under a condition that the upper edges of the grounding sides are disposed below the inner bottom face of the mating slot. The upper edges are located below the inner bottom face of the mating slot.

Claim (Index 16):
A card edge connector comprising:\n an elongated insulative housing defining a central mating slot extending downwardly from an upper face of the housing in a vertical direction, and further along a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the vertical direction with a pair of side walls by two sides of the mating slot in a transverse direction perpendicular to both the vertical direction and the longitudinal direction, each of said side walls forming a plurality of grooves therein along the longitudinal direction, and further some receiving slots outside of the corresponding grooves in the transverse direction; two rows of terminals respectively disposed in the corresponding grooves of the pair of side walls and including grounding terminals and signal terminals, each of said terminals including a mating portion extending into the mating slot, a retaining portion located below the mating portion and securely retained in the corresponding side wall; a grounding member attached upon and covering an exterior surface of each of said side walls and including a plurality of elastic tabs extending into the corresponding receiving slots to contact the corresponding grounding terminals, respectively.
