Abstract
A pair of first connector and second connector clamps a printed circuit board therebetween. The first connector comprises a first body portion having a reception space defined from a bottom to a top thereof. The printed circuit board defines a hole registering with the reception space. The second connector comprises a second body portion defining a recess for receiving a board lock which has a fixed section engaged within the recess and a pair of spring prongs connected to the fixed section and retained in the reception space of the first connector, therefore the first connector and the second clamp the printed circuit board.
Claims1
A first connector and second connector clamping a printed circuit board, wherein the first connector comprises a first body portion having a reception space defined from a bottom to a top thereof, the printed circuit board defines a hole registering with the reception space, and the second connector comprises a second body portion defining a recess for receiving a board lock which has a fixed section engaged within the recess and a pair of spring prongs connected to the fixed section and retained in the reception space of the first connector, whereby the first connector and the second connector clamp the printed circuit board therebetween;
- wherein the reception space of the first connector converges upwardly first and then diverges upwardly to the top of the second body portion, thereby forming a pair of positioning steps facing each other;
- wherein each of the spring prongs of the board lock has a bent head for abutting against the corresponding positioning step of the first connector.
