Zusammenfassung:	A locking clip is disclosed for use in combination with a known edge board connector to lock a printed circuit board in the connector. The locking clip incudes a body portion having a pair of resilient cantilever legs extending therefrom in parallel spaced relation. Each leg includes locking tine on the free end thereof directed inwardly toward the opposite leg and an outwardly directed locking lance intermediate the body and the free ends of each leg. At least one pair of opposed, spaced-apart contacts are removed from a conventional zero or low insertion force edge board connector housing and replaced by the subject locking clip. The locking tines of the clip engage in opposite sides of an aperture in the printed circuit board aligned with at least one pad thereof to secure the board in the connector. The subject locking clip permits the connector to retain its low insertion force characteristics while preventing the board from working loose when subjected to vibration and other stresses.
