Abstract

A card edge connector for receiving a card which is rotatably assembled includes an insulative housing, a plurality of terminals and a pair of metal pieces. The insulative housing has a inserted slot for receiving the card and a key within the inserted slot for anti-mismating of the card. The terminals are arranged in a single row and located at one side of the inserted slot. Each terminal includes a solder portion extending out of the insulative housing and a contacting portion projecting into the inserted slot. The metal pieces locate at the other side of the inserted slot, each of which includes a mounting portion and an abutting portion projecting into the inserted slot. The terminals are arranged in a single row for reducing the height of the card edge connector.
