Abstract
An electrical connector on which a first circuit board is mounted has a series of contact elements therein each with an end portion that projects from the connector, the end portion being soldered to a second circuit board. The connector has a slit parallel to each of the peripheral edges thereof. The slit is separated by bridge portions to form a plurality of openings. The locking means is provided with a protruded edge that engages with the surface of the first circuit board and hook portions each of which can be inserted into a corresponding opening and slid therein for preventing separation of the first circuit board and the connector.
