Abstract
A card edge connector is provided with a housing and electrical contacts. The housing has a card edge receiving area, end supports located at opposite ends of the card edge receiving area, and stability outriggers. The end supports extend up from a top surface of the housing and each has a slot for receiving a portion of a printed circuit board. The outriggers extend outward from lateral sides of the housing at the bottom of the housing. The outriggers also function as standoffs for the housing.
