Abstract
For removably receiving in a predetermined direction a printed circuit board (11) having first and second side edges, a socket connector comprises an insulator housing having first and second longitudinal ends, a bell crank (33) consisting of first and second crank arms (33(1), 33(2)) pivoted by an axle (29) to the insulator housing at the first longitudinal end, and a push-button (31) for pushing the first crank arm. When the push-button is pressed substantially downwardly in the predetermined direction, the first crank arm rotates outwardly relative to the predetermined direction around the axle. The second crank arm rotates to lift up the first side edge of the printed circuit board. It is preferred that the insulator housing comprises a longitudinal rod (17) preferably having a groove (21) and first and second side members (19(1), 19(2)) extended from the first and the second longitudinal ends to define extensions of the groove for removably receiving the printed circuit board.
