Abstract
A fixing device and a connector using the fixing device can fix and insert directly into the expansion card of the connector. The fixing device includes at least one of the elastic arms. The elastic arm has a buckling portion. The connector using the fixing device includes an insulating body and a fixing device. The fixing device includes at least one of the elastic arms and a buckling portion. The buckling portion is buckled the two distal ends of the insulating body. A stop sheet serves to fix the expansion card. The stop sheet is not only capable of fix firmly the expansion card to the fixing device, but also is instead of screws. Besides, a buckling portion services to fix the fixing device into the connector. The integral structure of the novel way is simple and convenient to be assembled. The novel way can not only increase the assembling efficiency, but also reduce the production costs.
