  • Patent number: 7559792
    Abstract: An electrical connector (100) comprises an insulative housing (1) with pluralities of terminals (2, 4) thereon. The housing comprises two opposite sidewalls (101, 102), two opposite endwalls (103) respectively located on two ends of the sidewalls and a receiving cavity (10) defined therebetween with an opening. A first and a second retaining wall (16, 17) are located on each endwall (103) to define a groove (12) theretween, wherein the groove (12) defines a first latching portion (13) adjacent to the first retaining wall (16) near to the opening of the receiving cavity, and an entry (106) is defined between the first latching portion (13) and the second retaining wall (17). The slider (3) comprises a base plate (30), a tongue plate (32) insertable to the receiving cavity and two latching arms (33) insertable to the groove (12) through the entry (106).
