Abstract
An interface card connector that includes a plastic main body and a PC board that includes a main portion and a front insertion portion. The insertion portion is provided on top and bottom surfaces with multiple elongated conductor contact strips. The plastic main body includes a transverse opening through which the insertion portion of the PC board extends. The protective side walls are provided on inner surfaces with guiding channels that receive the PC board. The PC board is pushed through the plastic main body in the guiding channels so that the insertion portion extends beyond the plastic main body, thereby enabling the contacts of the PC board to be directly electrically connected to a compatible connector.
