Abstract
A card edge connector includes an elongated insulative housing, a plurality of conductive terminals retained in the housing, and a latching structure. The housing defines a card receiving slot. The latching structure includes a locking portion and an operating portion. The operating portion defines an operating surface. The operating portion is made of insulative material, and a metal plate is attached to the operating surface. The metal plate can effectively improve the technical feeling of the card edge connector and protect the operating surface from being damaged by external tools.
