CARD EDGE CONNECTOR WITH IMPROVED GUIDING STRUCTURE
Abstract:
A card edge connector includes an insulative housing defining a card receiving slot extending along a longitudinal direction, a plurality of terminals retained in the housing and by two sides of the card receiving slot in a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and a metallic guiding member retained to the housing at the end of the card receiving slot. The metallic guiding member includes a main body extending in a vertical direction perpendicular to both the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction, and a curved resilient guiding section upwardly extending from a top end of the main body. The housing forms a constraining wall at the end with a step structure so as to allow the guiding section of the guiding member to be freely support upon the step structure to function as a constrained beam during confrontation with the inserted card module.
