Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a linear edge connector assembly for connecting to a substrate diving board of a mother board. The linear edge connector assembly can include an electrical interface to electrically connect the contacts on the diving board to one or more conducts of a cable bundle. The linear edge connector assembly can also include a retaining force mechanism. The retaining force mechanism can include a torsional spring, a spring loaded hooking mechanism, or a spring loaded cam and lever. In some embodiments, the linear edge connector can include a notch to receive a latch connected to a bolster plate on the mother board.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a linear edge connector assembly and corresponding bolster plate features for receiving and securing a linear edge connector assembly. Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a linear edge connector assembly that includes a grooved and indented receiver that can receive a spring loaded ball on the bolster plate. In embodiments, the linear edge connector assembly can include a magnetic element to create a magnetic attraction to magnetic elements on the bolster plate, such as a press-fit ball or a U-shaped hardstop. In some embodiments, the linear edge connector assembly includes a screw or push pin that can be received by a receiver on the bolster plate. The receiver can include a thread or friction fit receiver.
