Abstract
An electrical connector is provided for receiving a daughtercard having a plurality of conductive surfaces formed thereon. The connector includes a socket having a first end and a second end. An ejector is coupled to the first end of the socket. The ejector includes spring arms for retaining the daughtercard in the socket upon insertion of the daughtercard into the socket. A post is coupled to the second end of the socket in a fixed position relative to the socket to guide insertion of the daughtercard into the socket. The post is formed to include a pair of spring arms for engaging opposite sides of the daughtercard adjacent the post to retain the daughtercard within the socket. The ejector ejects an end of the daughtercard adjacent the ejector out of the socket upon movement of the ejector relative to the socket while leaving an opposite end of the daughtercard adjacent the post in the elongated slot of the socket.
