Abstract

The present invention provides a card edge electrical connector which makes it possible to achieve reliable grounding of a daughter board to a mother board via latch members thereof. Card edge connector (1) is equipped with an insulating housing (10), which is to be attached to a mother board (50) and which has a daughter board-accommodating recess (11) that extends in the direction of length thereof, and metal latch members (30), which are disposed in the vicinity of end portions of the housing (10) with respect to the direction of length of the housing and which hold a daughter board (60) at a second angle when the daughter board (60) is rotated to the second angle after being inserted into the daughter board-accommodating recess (11) at a first angle. The latch members (30) are connected to a ground path of the mother board (50). Metal ground auxiliary contact members (40), which have first resilient contact portions (43) that resiliently engage a ground path of the daughter board (60) and second resilient contact portions (44) that resiliently engage the latch members (30) are attached to the housing (10).
