A card edge connector ( ) comprises an elongated dielectric housing ( ) having a card-receiving face ( ), a plurality of terminals, a plurality of board locks ( ), and at least one conductive wire ( ). An elongated central slot ( ) is defined in the card-receiving face generally along a longitudinal axis of the housing for receiving a card edge therein. The terminals comprise a plurality of signal terminals ( ) and power terminals ( ). The signal and power terminals are received in the housing in a predetermined pattern for electrically connecting with contact pads on the card edge. The at least one wire is received in the housing and interconnects the power terminals. The at least one wire contacts the board locks which are to be connected with power circuitry of the printed circuit board, whereby power of the printed circuit board can be transmitted to the power terminals through the board locks and the wire.
