Abstract: An edge card connector includes a connector housing having two card guide units with a pair of resilient arms integral with lateral wall sections of the housing and extending upwardly from side walls of the housing in a cantilevered manner so as to define a card-accommodation space therebetween.

Abstract: A socket assembly includes a rectangular socket body and two ejector mechanisms. The socket body has two opposed sides, a top surface, a bottom surface, a row of terminal-receiving holes formed in the top surface on at least the two opposed sides for receiving terminal pins of an integrated circuit chip therein, and a plurality of terminal pins extending from the bottom surface and corresponding to the terminal-receiving holes. Each of the ejector mechanisms includes an elongated pivot plate. Each of the pivot plates has a lower end mounted pivotally on a corresponding one of the two opposed sides of the socket body and further has a levering rib extending transversely from an inner surface thereof and extending normally above the top surface. The levering rib has a longitudinal distal edge which is formed with a row of terminal-receiving notches aligned with a corresponding one of the rows of terminal-receiving holes in the socket body.
