Latch for a card edge connector system

A card edge connector system comprising:

• a card edge connector having a housing, a plurality of contacts held by the housing and a slot in the housing configured to receive a circuit card assembly therein for mating with the contacts, the card edge connector being configured to be coupled to a main circuit board;
• and
• a latch cooperating with the card edge connector to secure the circuit card assembly in the card edge connector, the latch being configured to be coupled to the main circuit board, the latch comprising a first arm and a second arm, the first and second arms being physically separate from one another and independently mountable to the main circuit board, a reception space being defined between the first and second arms, a width of the reception space being adjustable to accommodate different sized card edge connectors, the first arm having a deflectable spring latch configured to engage a portion of the circuit card assembly during mating of the circuit card assembly and the card edge connector, the second arm having a latch hook configured to hook around and engage a portion of the circuit card assembly during mating of the circuit card assembly and the card edge connector, the latch hook defining a pivot point for pivoting the circuit card assembly into the card edge connector during mating of the circuit card assembly and the card edge connector.
