CIRCUIT BOARD EDGE CONNECTOR

A circuit board edge connector (10) comprises an insulating housing (12) having a cavity (14) for receiving a daughter circuit board, and a plurality of electrical terminals (32) each mounted in a respective passage (22) in the base (26) of the cavity (14), and each having a mating portion (34) in the cavity, a laterally offset portion (36) adacent to the inner face (39) of the base (26), and a connecting tail (40) located bevond the outer face (14) of the base (26). For mounting the connector (10) on a mother circuit board (44), each mating portion (34) is spaced from the adjacent wall (19) of the cavity (14) to permit the insertion of a tool member (54) into the cavity (14) to engage the offset portion (36) of the terminal (32) to drive an enlarged laterally resilient mounting portion (38) of the terminal (32) into a hole (42) in the mother circuit board (44).
