Abstract
A socket connector includes a dielectric housing extending longitudinally between a first end and a second end. The dielectric housing has a slot that extends longitudinally. The slot is configured to receive a circuit card therein. Contacts are held by the dielectric housing and exposed at the slot. The contacts are configured to be electrically connected to the circuit card. The contacts are configured to be terminated to a circuit board. A latch is provided at the first end and is configured to secure the circuit card in the dielectric housing. The latch includes a power conductor. The power conductor is configured to be electrically connected to the circuit card. The power conductor is configured to be terminated to the circuit board to supply power between the circuit board and the circuit card.
