Printed wiring board for attachment to a socket connector, having recesses and conductive tabs

A printed wiring board for being plugged into a socket connector, said printed wiring board connector comprising:

• an insulating layer having a first surface with a plurality of recesses therein, said recesses being formed along a predetermined edge portion of said insulating layer to extend through at least a portion of said insulating layer, said edge portion adapted for being plugged into said socket connector;
• a plurality of conductive tabs for establishing an electrical connection with an external electronic apparatus, selected ones of said tabs being formed on said surface of said insulating layer relative to a corresponding one of said recesses and adapted for being connected to said socket connector when said edge portion is plugged into said socket connector;
• a plurality of pads positioned on an opposite surface of said insulating layer from said first surface having said plurality of conductive tabs thereon;
• and
• a plurality of conductive extensions located substantially on said first surface of said insulating layer and being connected electrically to respective ones of said conductive tabs and extending into respective ones of said recesses and firmly mechanically connected to said pads on said opposite surface of said insulating layer to substantially prevent peeling of said conductive tabs during said plugging of said edge portion into said socket connector.
