Abstract
A connector body (10 10', 10") is mounted on a mother board (11) and has a compressible electrical connector (15). A daughter board (22) is slidably inserted into the connector body (10, 10', 10") perpendicularly of the mother board (11). A deflection means (34, 56) engages a side of the daughter board (22) and deflects the daughter board (22) away from the compressible electrical connector (15) to prevent damage thereto after the daughter board (22) is slidably inserted. When the daughter board (22) is fully inserted, a retaining means 28, 43, 69) exerts a lateral clamping force on the daughter board (22).
