A first engaging portion (220) is projected from the first edge (212) of the main body (210) and firmly fixed in the connector (10) via barbs (2202). A guiding and positioning portion (230) is projected from the main body (210) for guiding and positioning the main body (210) in the connector (10). A second engaging portion (240) is extended from the second edge (214) of the main body (10) and it is engaged to the printed circuit board.
