Abstract

A connector includes a body, a slot within the body configured to receive a substrate and including a first end and a second end, contacts arranged along the slot between the first end and the second end, and a biasing mechanism arranged at the first end to align the substrate as the substrate is inserted into the slot so that substrate is in contact with the second end when the substrate is fully inserted into the slot.
