Abstract
A locking device for securing an edge card to an electrical connector comprises a U-shaped locking portion and a pair of second locking portions formed at either end of the electrical connector. The first locking portion includes a locking body and two clips perpendicularly extending from the locking body. A connecting portion between the locking body and corresponding clip forms a pair of ribs defining a receiving space therebetween. Each clip includes two resilient arms having two outwardly projecting barbs at a free end thereof. The second locking portions each comprises a U-shaped guiding channel extending upward from a top face of the electrical connector, and a pair of holes being defined on opposite sides of the connector housing below the guiding channel. The resilient arms are pressed oppositely so that they can be downwardly inserted into the guiding channel. Two upper corners of the edge card are securely received within the receiving space of the first locking portion.
