ABSTRACT:
A connector for providing a high current connection between printed circuit boards. The connector comprises a fastener, an electrically conductive spacer, and a nut. The fastener extends through a through-hole in each of the printed circuit boards. The spacer is disposed about the fastener and between the printed circuit boards. The nut engages a distal end of the fastener and forces the spacer into electrical contact with electrically conductive pads that at least partially surround each of the through-holes on sides of the printed circuit board that face one another. The nut may be press fit or otherwise captivated, or formed integrally in one of the printed circuit boards such that the electrical connection may be effected from a single direction. The spacer may be optimized for electrical conduction while the fastener and/or nut may be optimized for strength, rigidity, low cost, or a combination of such factors.
