Abstract
A card edge connector includes an insulating body, a plurality of terminals, and two metallic pieces. The insulating body has a body portion and two side frames. The body portion has an insertion slot. The top and bottom surfaces within the insertion slot have a plurality of flanges. The advantage of the present invention lies in that the interior of the insertion slot has a plurality of flanges. Therefore, the insertion slot can be made wider to facilitate the insertion of an electric card and prevent the phenomenon that the electric card cannot be inserted into the insertion slot due to the deformation of the insertion slot. When the electric card is inserted, the flanges abut against the upper and lower surfaces of the electric card, so that the electric card can be stably fixed in the insertion slot. As a result, the electric card has greater stability.
