Abstract
A connector fixing device and a connector including the fixing device are disclosed. The fixing device is formed by stamping a metal plate to have a base, a pair of fixing legs extending downward from the base for engaging with a mother board, and two fitting wings extending upward from two sides of the base and cooperating therewith to define a middle depression in an upper part of the fixing device. The two fitting wings interferentially fit into two grooves defined by two projection portions of a housing of the connector. The two projection portions are located at a bottom part of the housing beside a space defined by the housing which receives a foot portion of a card ejector. The card ejector is pivotably connected to the housing for ejecting an inserted electrical card. The middle depression of the fixing device is defined below the space receiving the foot portion of the card ejector.
