ABSTRACT An edge connector for a printed circuit board or card is disclosed. In order to ensure that the card is aligned properly with connectors in the slot of the edge connector a novel biasing arrangement is provided. This biasing arrangement comprises a passage located adjacent one end of the card- receiving slot and having a transverse wall sloping obliquely downwardly towards a near end wall of the connector and a wedge slidably positioned in the passage having a sloping surface conformably sliding along the sloping wall of the passage and a vertical surface opposite the sloping surface and facing into the slot for abutting engagement with a card as it is inserted into the slot. A coil spring is arranged to bias the wedge upwardly in the passage. In operation, the wedge is driven down the sloping passage by the card as it is inserted thereby increasing the slot length to accommodate the card width. Concurrently, in cooperation with a ramp on the wedge and the coil spring, the card is urged against the far end of the slot. The wedge positions itself so that the ver- tical surface thereon bears against a side of the card.
