Abstract

A single card receiver assembly is easily mounted on and connected to a circuit board, in a compact arrangement. The circuit board is formed with apertures (200, 202, 88) that respectively receive a connector (34) with card-engaging contact blades (36), a full insertion detector (114), and a latch mechanism (70). The circuit board lower face (30) has traces (230, 232) for engaging vertically compressed connector contact tails (33), to provide surface mount connection of the connector tails to circuit board traces.
