ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (20) for electrically connecting circuit boards (30,32) or the like comprises two housings (22,24) engaged via a plurality of tongues (100) and grooves (102) positioned on each housing (22,24). The grooves (102) of one housing (22) receive the tongues (100) of the other housing (24), and vice versa, by sliding one into the other. A plurality of interlocks (104) formed on each tongue (100) of one housing (22) mate with interlocks (104) formed on the grooves (102) of the other housing (24) to form a rugged spacer (25). By positioning the housings (22,24) so that different interlocks (104) slide together, one of a plurality of preselected distances may be achieved to match the spacing between circuit boards (30,32). An electrical circuit conductor (26) is positioned on the spacer (25) to provide for electrical connection between the circuit boards (30,32). A resilient bias means (74) biases the electrical circuit conductor (26) into electrical engagement with electrical circuitry (27,28) on the circuit boards (30,32). A protective latch (36) is positioned over the connector (20) to protect the conductor (26) from damage. Each housing (22,24) includes positioning means (70) formed on each housing (22,24) to assure proper mating of the connector (20) to the circuit boards (30,32), and aligning means (74) formed to align the conductor (26) to each circuit board (30,32).
