Abstract: A printed circuit edgeboard connector is connected to a miniature printed circuit board plug. The edgeboard connector comprises a connector body having two rows of terminals disposed in cavities of the connector body and engaging opposite sides of the printed circuit board. A multi-function lock is inserted into the conductor end of the connector body to prevent withdrawal of the terminals. When attached to the connector body, the multi-function lock has an external flexible lock arm which engages a notch in the printed circuit board to maintain the mechanical connection of the edgeboard connector and the plug.
