Abstract
A card edge connector assembly includes a circuit board, a connector, an electrical card and a fixing structure. The connector is formed on the circuit board, the front rim of the electrical card is inserted into the insertion slot of the connector. The fixing structure has an elastic element having a fixing portion positioned on the circuit board. Two relating opposing sides of the fixing portion extends two elastic arms whose free ends form a beveled edge and a clasp portion, and define positioning slots on the rear rim of the electrical card. The length of the elastic arm increases in such a way that the elasticity of the elastic arm becomes greater so as to prevent the elastic arm abrading and breaking to ensure the positioning function and enhance the shock-resistance.
