Abstract
An edge connector is disclosed, having a configuration in which board contacting portions of terminals coming into contact with both ends of the board are displaced, an overall spring portion of each terminal applying an biasing force to the board contacting portions are displaced, and the surface of a cover member displacing the spring portion is configured as a sloped surface. Due to this configuration, it is possible to apply a stable biasing force to the board contacting portion without plastically deforming the terminals and to bring the board contacting portion of the terminal into secure contact with the board even when the thickness of the board varies greatly.
