A central board slot (12) extends in the housing (10) in the lengthwise direction for reception of the bottom edge portion of daughter board (100) inserted therein whereby the contacts (90) are electrically engaged with the traces on the bottom edge portion of the daughter board (100). An ejector (50) is pivotally positioned in a cavity (30) at one end of the housing (10) and a pair of separate latches (70) are positioned adjacent such ejector (50) but segregative and spaced therefrom by substantially a portion of the insulative housing (10) for latchably sandwiching and engaging within a retaining (92) hole of the daughter board (100) when the daughter board (100) is received in the board slot (12) in the connector housing (10). Such ejector (50) has a hook section (54) for pushing the bottom edge portion of the daughter board (100) upwardly and releasing the daughter board (100) from the connector (1), accordingly. …
