Abstract
A connector for a printed circuit board has a printed circuit board having a cut-out portion at one corner of its inserting end side and a plurality of contact points or conductor strips juxtaposed along a marginal portion of its inserting end and a connector body having a groove through which the printed circuit board is inserted and withdrawn. The groove is provided therein with a plurality of contacts which are arranged in such a manner as to be resiliently contacted with a group of the contact points. The connector body is provided with a single push-up lever for pushing up one side of the printed circuit board. The single push-up lever is pivotally supported on one end portion of the connector body. The push-up lever is provided with a push-up portion adapted to engage with the cut-out portion of the printed circuit board. The cut-out portion is given a push-up force by the push-up portion resulting from pivotal movement of the push-up lever. The printed circuit board is pushed up at one end side thereof in a cantilever fashion when it is withdrawn.
