Abstract: A edge connector socket for printed circuit boards comprises an elongate insulative housing having a channeled receiving space extending between respective end portions thereof, and a plurality of conductive contact members disposed on corresponding slots formed perpendicularly along the receiving space. Each end portion has a vertical post with a protruding pin on a first side of the housing and an inclined ramp for guiding the insertion of a daughterboard on a second side of the housing. Each contact member has a resilient spring appendage and a fulcrum appendage formed spacedly thereon so as to define a receiving space for an inserted edge portion of a daughterboard. The spring appendages deflect upon the insertion of a daughterboard and apply a torque thereon so as to rotate the board about a pivot axis defined by the fulcrum appendages in contact with an opposing side thereon.
