The gripper arm assemblies each include an upper and lower gripper arm defining therebetween a printed circuit board receiving space. The gripper arm assemblies positively mechanically lock the printed circuit board to the connector without the use of through holes and screws. The connector overcomes the disadvantages of connector tilt problems, manufacturability and simplicity in assembling the connector and printed circuit board.
