ABSTRACT:
A connector alignment verification and monitoring system includes a circuit module having a surface with a plurality of spaced-apart, geometrically similar conductive terminal pads printed on it, each of the terminal pads having selected dimensions parallel to and perpendicular to an edge of the surface. Alignment sensing means are also printed on the module surface adjacent to that edge, the alignment sensing means including a series of closely spaced-apart, electrically isolated conductive features extending along the module surface generally in the direction of the edge. The system also includes a connector for coupling to the module, the connector including a plurality of contacts which are disposed opposite to, and establish electrical continuity with, the module terminal pads when the connector and module are in proper alignment. The connector also has an alignment contact which only contacts a selected one or more of the features of the series of features on the module. An alignment indicator in circuit with the alignment sensing means indicates which feature or features of the series of features is contacted by the alignment contact.
