Abstract
A card-edge connector comprising a housing having a circuit-board insertion groove having both ends and formed in the wall face. A contact is fixedly inserted in the contact holes of the housing, so that an end of a circuit board is inserted in the contact. The circuit board is electrically connected to the contact when it is rotated to a position substantially perpendicular to the wall face and is held by the circuit-board holding members of the housing after the circuit board has been inserted slantwise in the circuit-board insertion groove. First lift preventing means and second lift preventing means are provided at the respective ends of the circuit-board insertion groove so as to prevent the circuit board from lifting from the housing. First and second locking members for preventing the circuit board from moving back and forth, leftward and rightward, are provided at the respective ends of the circuit-board insertion groove they have engaging step portions disposed so as to face the respective circuit-board holding members. Operating members are provided on the first and second locking members, for broadening a space between the first and second locking members to release the circuit board from the housing.
