ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to connector assemblies for electrically and mechanically connecting one printed circuit board to another and, in particular to connector assemblies having blade-like terminals engaging cantilever beam terminals for electrically and mechanically connecting one printed circuit board to another. The present invention uses a passive latch to increase the withdrawal force without significantly increasing the insertion force of the terminals in connectors in the connector assemblies.
