Abstract: The connector comprises an elongated slot and two end shoulders each including two arms, a groove between the arms, two flexible spaced walls behind the groove, two inner indentations, a hole recessed into either indentation, and a cavity; and two fastening mechanisms each including a trigger member, an inward protrusion, a latched piece at either side below the protrusion, a lower inward projection, and two pivot bars below the latched piece, the pivot bars being fitted into the holes for pivotably connecting the fastening mechanisms in the cavity. In fastening align pins of the card with the slot prior to insertion and pivot the fastening mechanisms inward until the protrusions are snapped into side recesses of the card and the latched pieces are urged against the walls respectively, thereby further inserting the pins into the slot for widthwise and lengthwise fastening the card.
