Abstract
A card edge connector with latching that enables a compact connector. The connector includes a latch, centrally located along the connector. The latch may be aligned with an alignment rib of the connector housing, reducing the space required for the latch. In some embodiments, portions of the latch may be bifurcated so that the latch may straddle the rib. In this way, space for a latch in a circuit assembly using the connector may be less than in conventional connector with latches on each end.
