Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a linear edge connector assembly for connecting to a substrate diving board of a mother board. The linear edge connector assembly can include an electrical interface to electrically connect the contacts on the diving board to one or more conducts of a cable bundle. The linear edge connector assembly can also include a retaining force mechanism. The retaining force mechanism can include a torsional spring, a spring loaded hooking mechanism, or a spring loaded cam and lever. In some embodiments, the linear edge connector can include a notch to receive a latch connected to a bolster plate on the mother board.
