Abstract
A stacking computer connector primarily comprises a connection board, a bottom connector and a top connector. The connection board includes a plurality of sets of through holes. The bottom connector is mounted on the connection board, and several protruding pins at the bottom surface of the bottom connector is locked in one set of the through holes, and the bottom connector has a dovetail-shaped seat on the top thereof. The top connector is piled upon the bottom connector, and the protruding pins are locked in another set of the through holes, and the top connector includes an accommodation space at the front bottom end thereof which has a dovetail-shaped groove on the top thereof. In accordance with the foregoing structure, the above-mentioned bottom connector is fitted in the accommodation space of the top connector. Therefore, the dovetail-shaped seat on the top of the bottom connector can be locked in the dovetail-shaped groove of the top connector. Accordingly, the bottom connector and the top connector can be connected with each other integrally in order to facilitate the assembly thereof on a motherboard and to reduce the occupied area of the motherboard.
